This is actually our 4 month anniversary picture. A bit late but better now than never! Mikah is just under 23lbs here! As you can see his entire self takes up nearly my entire torso already. I sometimes carry him in the MOBY wrap but really he prefers being on Ben as there is still room for him to nestle into his chest. It’s just uncomfortable when I wear him- our heads keep bumping into each other like a 2 headed beast of some sort. We sometimes put him in a stroller but really would like to carry him around more without killing our backs. I usually opt to carry him in my arms.

So far we’ve tried a *really* old fashioned sling (hand-me-down) that is just too bulky for Mikah, Baby Bjorn which worked when he was smaller but digs into our shoulders now that he’s heavier, and the Moby which works OK but is inconvenient as far as putting him in it and taking him out goes. A back carrier might do the trick…

If anyone has a suggestion on a really great baby carrier I’d love to hear it!

Also as a side note, Ben has entered “the grey one“, Lulu, into America’s Most Lovable Pets sponsored by Wheel of Fortune and PEOPLEPets.com .. Maybe she’ll win :}
