Tom likes to wear the baby, to church, at the store, around the house, because it is the best way to keep her happy, i.e. put her to sleep. Our babies don’t like pacifiers or riding in the car (unless there’s no slowing down or stopping involved), so your soothing options are basically: a) breastfeeding, b) pacing, and c) breastfeeding. Tom is the master of the pace, except when his arms get tired and she slips into a cradle hold that promises milk he has no intention of supplying. Enter the baby carrier:
That is one fine man. All of my glands gush love hormones and let-me-squeeze-you bonding agents. Almost enough to make you want another baby, until this baby starts crying, or one of her sisters starts whining/fighting/changing her clothes yet again. Usually our division of labor on Saturdays is Tom: 3 kids, Shannon: baby. But whenever we are all together, daddy breaks out the baby bjorn (if only you could hear how Lucy says it) and everyone is happy.
Really, it’s amazing I ever get annoyed at this man . . .

It’s amazing how your idea of sexy changes as you have kids…
Seeing Molly stretched out on her daddy’s lap sends me back to days when both my hubby and my daddy positioned my baby boys the lengths of their very long laps. That worked EVERY time! I love the video and the memories it evokes.
Thanks s’much!
“whining/fighting/changing her clothes yet again”–ha ha. I just cleaned up all the dress-ups here! Does she take a bottle? If so, go on a date and let me watch her!
That pic of Tom and the baby… soooo cute.
Video… cuter. I need one of those. The baby… not the video.
So cute!
Is that photo what Utah looks like?? Wow. Relly got to stop by one time …
Yeah, it’s amazing I get annoyed with my husband too. He’s an absolute sweetheart!
We don’t have kids yet, but we are hoping to start trying soon. That video made me happy
My husband enjoyed it too–he says that will be him someday
