The beginning of Adventures in Babywearing

Since before our son was born, I knew I wanted to babywear. The convenience and developmental benefits are amazing. With two dogs, taking them and a stroller for a quick walk around the block seemed a little more daunting than I thought I could handle. At least for the first little while.

I was lucky enough to be given a lot of different wraps prior to Gabriel's birth. I received a Moby wrap, 2 custom made Babyhawk Mei Tais (shorter straps) and a ring sling. I purchased a woven and was given an Ergo from a baby shower.

After the first week home, I tried the Moby for the first time. I couldn't walk very far yet, but I wanted to see if I was strong enough to wear him and go down the block. The amount of fabric that makes up the Moby is a little daunting. I watched a few youtube videos and followed the instructions on the website and had no issues tying it on and getting Gabriel in. A little slow to get everything on and situated, but I did it.
We took our first walk as a family!

I can't wait to start wearing Gabriel more and get out of the house with the dogs. We may not go far yet, but being hands free will be so nice.
