Kangaroo conversationalist

Tastes pretty good

Our birth class instructor, Anne, won her court case and will soon get her placenta back, so today we met up with a bunch of people to celebrate. Anne's Maxanne is three days older than Brandt and apparently won't chill in her sling in cradle carry (the only one I know how to do) anymore so we got to see snuggle hold up close. When we got home I practiced snuggle hold and kangaroo carry and Brandt seems to like them both. And I don't know if Maxanne said something to Brandt, but he doesn't seem so keen on cradle carry anymore either.

Friday evening I went to a babywearing class and came home with a mei tai, so we gave that a whirl today, too. I was curious to see how it fit and Brandt was curious to see how it tasted. We're both happy with it, but I think we'll do more practicing at home before we brave it in the outside world.

For a week or so now, our new game is conversing. Brandt's side of the conversation consists of squeeks and squawks and "ai-yai!"s, and my side is "Really?" "And then what happened?" He likes to stretch his arms out to the sides while he's talking so then I pretend he's just come back from a fishing trip and telling me how big his catch was. "That's some big walleye!"
