sachi pocket on dh

during a 45 minute walk dd finally fell asleep.
interestingly dh didn't comment on the pinkness of the fabric's print!

daddy in on the action

i couldn't resist...here's dh wearing dd in the nestling mt when on vac last week. i think she liked it, but dh said she still felt heavy and the mt in the humidity made him very sweaty.

rolling over...& over & over & over

after months of lagging behind ALL the babies in her 'gym' class, dd finally discovered the joys of turning over...and over...and over...

the 'ball' started rolling really when my parents came to stay 2 weeks ago. dd had already been able to roll over, but usually with a bribe, i.e. i had to tempt her with a toy. and then she would turn over, grab the toy, and roll onto her back again.

however, when my folks were here, dd seemed to revel in the attention. she also seemed to find more fun being on her tummy. besides rolling over, she 'pivots', as well as nudge backwards (i wouldn't say she's crawling backwards though).

anyhow, for the record again: dd weighed in at 9.7kg and measured 70cm on 26 september.

turning topsy turvy

as dd has gotten really heavy (weighing in at over 21lbs now, or 9.7kg to be exact) for arm-carrying, our ringsling and the too-stretchy babynest pouches, i decided to get another, sturdier 2-shouldered carrier, the mei tai.

so, without further ado, here's our beautiful Nestling mei tai in the gorgeous Topsy-turvy Covington fabric (it reverses to a nice plaid pattern), modelled by dd and grandma!

a better view of the fabric print. i just love the whimsical carnival animals.
