Babywearing Contest

We all know that we looove to wear our baby around here. Even if he's getting a bit old and prefers to get into mischief on the ground, we still do it. From the womb, little Ezra knew the difference between a warm, heart-pulsing carrier vs. a cold, hard, plastic one. He was not fooled by swings, exercsaucers, carseats, and sometimes even strollers. Thankfully, we absolutely love to wear him. I don't even want to imagine what those months would have been like if we didn't. Can we say nightmare?

A girlfriend told me about a contest that Nurture Baby Naturally is having on FB. The theme was babywearing daddies and I uploaded a pic of W wearing E to enter. And actually, she kindly sent a whole bunch she had taken during their visits with us. It made entering super easy. Thanks, K, for not only telling me about the contest, but providing the picture too!
Here's the one we I entered:
W with a then 4 month old E. Trying to prepare dinner with an awake little one poses challenges all their own.

K entered a precious one with T & E:

But really, we have no chance of winning. Because, let's just be honest, how could we compete with this?!
Sandi, who ever you are....you and your son's grandpa win. Hands-on. Happy $25 worth of Granola Babies products! 

Think you have a shot against ol' Gramps?! Upload your own pic here.

looove baby wearing!!!! great picture!!

im surprised ezra didn't get splashed with olive oil/steam/etc. being face forward while cooking.

i always had to wear brady facing my chest while cooking. i was always so afraid he would have been burned by the splashing up of something, whether it have been EVOO or even a steam burn from boiling water.

it didnt last long, cuz with his little arms and legs always getting in the way, i could never easily prepare or cook much of anything. it was MUCH easier to let him entertain himself...so that was typically his saucer time {which, i cant believe ezra didnt like his!! ive never met a baby that wasnt in love with those things}. :)

good luck with the contest!!! your pic is very cute!!

hahaha! I love these pictures, Jess. The Grandpa baby wearer definitely wins. SO cute!
Kara is our only baby we "wore" and I'm not sure why it took 3 kids for me to learn that. Ethan probably would've preferred the stroller and carseat though - he was just that way. He likes his own space :) Rachel though, she would've love the carrier we used with Kara. I feel guilty when I think about it too long :(
There's always our future kids! :)

Tara- Nope! No culinary injuries here. Perhaps because of W's long arms??

Stef- Don't feel bad at all. You are a fabulous Mama & Miss Rach, my little fashionista, is such a sweetheart!!
