Wearing Mr. Benjamin

As bad as yesterday was is as good as today has been. Last night Clay took charge of Benjamin right after his late evening feeding & let me go to sleep (while Clay undertook the tricky task of settling him down for the night). So I got a good 4-5 hour stretch of sleep, which made ALL the difference in today!

After seeing how successful Clay was "wearing" Benjamin last might when we walked to Walmart, I decided to try the baby backpack on myself this morning. Not only did Benjamin like it, he fell asleep as I got some house work done! It was great to be able to be close to my little one without my arms getting super tired! Hurray for a small victory!

Then this afternoon I took Benjamin for his first car trip with just me by myself (which worked out nicely). We picked up some photos I was having printed and then returned something at Target, & mostly he just slept soundly in his car seat.

Pictured below are the baby backpack (you can't see Ben in it), Benjamin having a little tummy time when Clay came home for lunch, and Benjamin napping on me (going on as I write this).
