Sling Baby

Carrying Kate in the sling when we are out is so fun. Everyone ooohs and ahhhs and makes audible comments, much more than if she's cooped up in the carseat. People are also very friendly and quick to offer help. For example, it was sprinkling and I was walking through the parking lot, and a sweet woman insisted I take her umbrella to protect Kate, and return it whenever to her tailoring shop. I think that there are less sling-mommas in Richmond than places like Austin, so it makes us stand out. And Kate loves sitting forward in the sling (in a Buddha pose), taking the world in. She's very content to be near momma and able to see everything that's going on!
