Cozy

One of the coolest gifts we were given was a Boppy Sling. This is a neat way to carry Caleb around because it allows the wearer to be hands-free yet keep Caleb nearby. It's cool for Caleb because he sits down in it and curl up in a little ball and sleep. Mom really likes the sling because she has found that Caleb sleeps really well in there. Mom likes to put Caleb in the sling if she needs to do something using both hands or if she just needs a break from holding him.

Today, Mom and Caleb went out yet again to a support group for nursing moms. I think the trip was really good for Mom. It allowed her to get out of the house for an extended period of time, it allowed her to interact with other adults, and it allowed her to get advice and reassurance from other moms. Mom seemed really juvenated today after attending the group.

This morning while Mom was getting read to go to the group, she was moving around the house and used the sling to hold Caleb. He was fast asleep the whole time she was getting ready and didn't stir at all. Mom took a peek in the sunlight at Caleb snoozing in the sling and this is how peaceful he looked.

How did the two whitest people I know have such a red baby?
