Baby Love Slings: Babywearing in the city

My Boys

Lucas

Lucas Robert- March '06. My thinker with a huge vocabulary and a bigger heart. So full of life and wonder and imagination. Future engineer or architect or whatever he puts his mind to. My tender mama's boy with the rough-and-tumble outside. Whether playing cars or reading books or just sitting with mama, he lives life fully. And I think that is great!!

Caden

Caden Lauten- August '08 With the warmest eyes that light up the room, he is my little love-bug who wants to be with mama at all times! Never content to just sit, except when snuggled close in the sling where Mama's face is just a reached out hand away. My little explorer, following his brother and puppy everywhere, my baby and the light of my life!

We took Lucas into the city this past weekend for the first time. The weather was perfect- the ideal end of summer/beginning of fall day in Chicago. It is days like that which make living in Chicago in February and March worth it. We walked aroung Grant Park and Millenium Park, soaking in the warmth and watching Lucas experience the fountains and the "Bean" with wonder and amazement. He loved Buckingham and Crown fountains (the one with the faces and where you can walk in the water). He was intrigued with being able to see his reflection in the "bean." Most of all though, he was overjoyed at the constant stream of buses passing by. He would point and yell (and I mean yell) "BUS!! Mama, BUS!!" Then "bye-bye bus.... BUS!!" It was so fun to see him having such a good time and being a little boy. Not too big to ride with mama though.... he still loves the sling and mama does too!
