Milo is usually very good at bedtime. I'm usually able to nurse him, then put him straight to bed... sometimes even awake and he'll fall asleep on his own. But for whatever reason, he was fighting bedtime tonight. I nursed him and he was still wide awake. Daddy took him outside which usually puts him right out... and he decided to be awake AND adorable smiling and mimicking Daddy. We changed a few diapers... he cried... we took turns trying to snuggle him... nothing was working. And let me add it wasn't that he was crying the whole time... more just awake. SOOOOO... we decided to pull out the Magic Moby. That is its new name. I put him in the Moby and Nathan and I took to the streets. We went for the walk around the block we would take so often while I was pregnant. Within about 5 minutes... he went from wide awake, looking around... to completely passed out. There is just something so soothing to a baby to be wrapped snuggle against your mother's chest... taking in her warmth, smell, heart beat, and the jiggling motion so similar to the motion he experienced in the womb... Its amazing that baby wearing is not more common in our country. And maybe Milo is just extra responsive to the Moby since he is such a big cuddle bug.
Transferring him from the Moby to his bed was just as easy! And he is now... happily asleep. Now Mom needs to get there, too.
