sleepy


haven't posted for a while, but i thought i should. kylee has just started sleeping almost through the night (she used to wake up every 3 hours or so to eat ... but i've weaned her away from eating so much) and she now sleeps from 8-3am and then i feed her a little and she sleeps for another 2 hours or so. it has been HEAVEN! but i had a good idea for a scrapbooking page for her, i'm going to take pictures of how she falls alseep with her stuffed animal cow and put them in small pictures across the top of the page and then have one big picture in the middle under all the other small ones. every time i peek in to check on her she makes me laugh because of the position she's in. she is such a doll! she now goes to sleep basically on her own with less than 5 minutes of crying. (i actually let her cry that long now ... it was hard at first, but it's made me more sane haha)
we are planning on taking our little family to vermont at the end of july on an airplane (7 hours +) for a few days of fun. does anybody know of a good baby carrier (like the strap on front back pack type where their legs and arms dangle.) she's on the larger side, but i think we might die without one. she's 18 pounds and i did a little research and noticed that most only are made for up to 22/25 pounds. baby bjorn? or evenflo snugli hug?? let me know ... i bought her some bathing suits already ... sooo cute!

  2. k, I obviously don't have kids and can't give you any first hand info, but I have friends that recommend things. One friend LOVED her baby bjorn! She had a different brand and didn't like it, so she got a baby bjorn carrier. Also, I know that Kelty has some big, but really good baby back-pack sort of deals. A lot of people have them down here and love them. You can pack that baby plus other things in it. (but, like I said, it's pretty big and intense) Good Luck!
