I'm still trying hard to make this babywearing thing happen. Paige and I tried the sling several more times today, and she just does. not. like. it. She arches her back and tries to get her head away from the fabric. I tried the Ergo again today, and she screamed when I put the infant insert between her legs (I think it seperated them too far). Same result with a Safety 1st carrier I had from when Wyatt was born (never worked with him because his legs were too chubby). I've already sold my Sleepy Wrap, which I am almost regretting because as much as I found it difficult to use, at least she didn't cry in it. *sigh* I want something lightweight, and I don't want something that's so complicated I need to watch 100 videos on how to use it! Why is that so hard? I think I'll be making a trip to the city with Paige to try out a few different styles. The Baby Bin Boutique apparently has a few different brand and styles available.Friday, June 17, 2011

In a brief moment of sweetness, Wyatt gave Paige a kiss on the forehead before we headed out to go grocery shopping. It really did not last very long. :P Now whenever Paige cries, Wyatt likes to (VERY LOUDLY) "shush" her. Not terribly charming, or helpful. Try explaining that to a 2 1/2 year old!We've been experiencing the "witching hour" in our house with Paige, from 7-10pm. She is just unsettled, and nothing seems to calm her for very long. She not only hates being swaddled, but she gets out of every single swaddle. This is a change for us, because Wyatt loved being swaddled! I think that carrying her in a baby carrier would work, but I can't seem to find one that works. I have now tried three different styles (wrap, sling and Ergo), and none of them have really worked all that great. I couldn't get the hang of the wrap (even with Wyatt), and Paige hates the sling (she keeps trying to lift her head out of it) and the Ergo feels SO bulky and cumbersome. I really need to try one before I buy one....they aren't cheap!

Wyatt (and Paige) had a playdate with their cousins, Livi and Connor this morning. After Livi and Connor took their turns holding Paige (who, according to Connor is "such a good baby!"), Connor hauled out every train that Wyatt has and Livi and Wyatt played with a sticker book. They all were on their best behaviour, and I was pretty taken aback at how social Wyatt was. He mostly gravitated to Livi, but the fact that he was actually asking her to go to his room, sit on his couch, etc. surprised me. Anytime I've seen him with kids (including these two!), he normally asks an adult to play with him instead, or plays alone.We also got a short visit from my mom (Grandma S!) for supper, which made Wyatt's day. I hope he can maintain a close relationship with both sets of grandparents for a long time. I remember having sleepovers at both of my grandparents', but at some point that stopped and we only saw them on holidays. Josh, on the other hand, is extremely close to his grandparents (on his dad's side) still. They watch Wyatt on occasion too, and he loves spending time with his great grandparents (and "great Toby", their dog, ha ha).
Must go...Wyatt has decided to rub yogurt all over his face for some reason...

Wyatt and Josh playing one of Josh's favorite "games" - spinning. Wyatt loves to jump, spin and be chased around the kitchen. If he wants to play, this is usually how he asks: "Mommy, want to spin? Want to? Try it mommy, try! It's good for you." I have NO idea where he learned that, but it makes me laugh every time. Recently, he's also started with, "That's a great idea!" For example: Me: "Wyatt, what do you want for a snack? Crackers?" Wyatt: "Oh yes, mommy, that's a great idea!" Ha ha....at least someone thinks so. :PMonday, June 13, 2011
