Gratuitous cute picture

Because I'm really a hippie at heart, and because they are made with free trade organic cotton Guatemalan fabric and come in bright colors, I bought myself a Maya Wrap baby sling. It came with a really elaborate instructional DVD, in which the same woman, recorded over the course of several years, reads from a teleprompter (or more likely recycled hemp fiber flash cards or something) while holding an astonishingly large number of different children. Despite this, I couldn't quite figure out how to get Rhys into it. After some real-life help from wild eyed attachment-parenting ladies who run the local La Leche League, I had graduated from not being able to get him into it at all to only not being able to get him into it without him having an inconsolable crying fit.

But today (with some help from my visiting doulas), I actually managed to get him to rest in there, and I walked around the house with him and felt all urban neotribal and stuff. Go me!

I dig the shirt and glasses. :)

Although, I don't think I've seen either before... are they new, or am I just unobservant?

The shirt I've had forever, but you may not have seen it; I'm leaning more toward the button down shirts and leass toward the one-piece dresses in my wardrobe for breastfeeding accessibility.

The glasses are indeed new, and rather a new look for me, as I haven't worn plastic frames in at least seven years or so.
