    Sweet baby! The baby carriers are easy for you as you will ear it the most. These are quite comfortable and convinient. This way you can easily keep your hands free with your baby happy in the small home 🙂

    You look so much like your dad. Not so much as a baby but as adult you can sure see the family resemblance. But something has changed even more than carriers… car seats!! When my boys were babies we had these rinky dinky little aluminum seats that just hooked over the back of the front seat, facing forward of course, with a little plastic steering wheel in front for baby to play with and absolutely nothing behind to support baby's head. There were no thoughts given to safety back then. I don't know how we missed killing off all our children years ago. High chairs were rinky dinky, strollers were ridiculously rinky dinky! Thank God someone started thinking about the baby's safety. The back to my front car seat was split down the middle so every time I stepped on the breaks I had to throw out my right arm to stop my boys from flying forward as the seat gave way. I shudder at the risks I very lovingly put my boys through. I remember there was a safety strap though. It was a thin strip of plastic that went in and out this clasp that had no teeth at all. All you had to do was tug at it and it would pull right out.Somehow it just seems right that you were carried close like that. And you dad was way ahead of himself as times go. When my boys were little you wouldn't catch a man …any man … carrying a baby! Thanks for sharing this photo.
