Neighborhood Walk: Take Two
The weather complied with my wishes today. Hazel and I meandered through Midway for 45 minutes. It did the following fabulous things for me:
1. Gave me fresh air to breathe!
2. Combined a workout with practice for Italy (walking outside in the Bjorn is largely going to be Hazel's entire international experience, while Todd and I bask in architecture, art, fine dining, and exquisite landscape).
3. Got Hazel to stop crying and actually be happy for a while.
4. Also got Hazel to take a nap, which she continued for 15 more minutes when we got back inside, while I walked around the house picking up clutter and eating a snack.
5. Got me to the post office to send off a package to a friend (enjoy, Rebekah).
6. Helped me to realize that I am so not going to need to wear as many layers around Italy as I had planned on packing. Walking with a baby and a Bjorn keeps a person quite warm! I was sweaty when I got back inside and actually opened a window for a while.
Aah, delightful. I couldn't bear to take my jacket off when I got inside, however, because I thought it was too adorable that Hazel had a little handful of green hoodie in each fist.

LOVE the bjorn. glad you had success.
Thank heavens for warm weather. I can feel spring on the way!
Good work! Aren't you so excited the sun has decided to show itself. We've been soaking it up as much as possible too!!
SO sweet! Those moments when they are asleep and not crying are priceless! Glad you got to be outside for a while - we are dying for Spring and some time at the park, zoo, trails etc.! It is time!
I don't know how parents get by without baby carriers. Ours was an absolute Godsend when Daniel was born. I'm glad you were able to enjoy yours so much yesterday. And I loved that picture of Hazel with a little fist full of hoodie-- too sweet!
It is definitely adorable that she had a little handful of green hoodie in each fist...Hazel is a cutie pie!
I didn't use the bjorn much with Brett, but I use it ALL the time with Abby...they are the greatest invention ever! Glad you were able to get out...fresh air does wonders for everyone!
Glad you are both loving the Bjorn - hope it is super nice in Europe. You are leaving soooo soon! I'll be thinking of you and your one backback, one outfit, no diapers -- but with your sweetheart! Best of luck, lady! Take lots of pics and give my brother a HUGE hug for me! Love you!
Glad your walk went so well and Hazel loves the Bjorn! You guys are going to have a blast in Italy.
