Let's take a peek and see what your last photo is!

Here's an awkward photo I found online till I can get back to my phone to upload my own.

[jnnfrrose6]

My last 2 I posted in other threads, so here's the last one not shared already. It's from our trip to the zoo on Sunday.

[anotherdreamer]

DD1 was climbing on boxes in their room this morning, because she's a little mountain climber. She managed to climb on the sofa the other day... I am so not ready for this phase lol.

mary1217, OMG, that face! It's too much!

jnnfrrose6, we did the same thing to Elias at the zoo, except his tiny face was on a giant orangutan body. Pictures like that crack me up!

I always love Junie's headbands. Where do you get them?

[alwaysnc4me]

Having a good hair/makeup day so texted a pic to the hubs.

[Liv]

soon2bmrsn, they're from Target! They're really soft and seem to come in nice coordinating colors. But June has a big head, so in all honesty, I put them on just for pictures and then take them off, otherwise she gets a mark on her forehead from them. They fit ok when she was smaller, but I need to find a size up now that she's close to a year!

We texted this photo to DH when he said he had boarded the plane to fly back home to us this morning!

[sararl07]

So I had a girls night and my husband finally gave in a wore dd bc of her clingy witching hour. He sent me the following picture which I immediately had to call him and tell him he was wearing it wrong and she could fall out.

Her expression is a cry for help

[sararl07]

I learned Cuddling after sex is frowned upon in Arkansas

[jnnfrrose6]

sararl07, that's awesome! He looks so proud of himself. FFTC I side eye everyone I see baby wearing with the kid facing out. I know some carriers are "ok" to do it, but from everything I've read, why risk doing it wrong?

[sararl07]

wait I've also forward faced also....I even watched my carrier DVD which told me how. Going to google now

Is forward facing bad??? Why don't not know about this???!

It's not a natural position for their hips. Facing you is better. Again, some carriers are designed so you can wear them facing out, but I just can't imagine it's enough to be ok when facing you is just as easy. My LO squirms around to see where we're going, so I've started side carrying her and the occasional back carry. 

ETA good explanation here.

[Liv]

I think forward facing can cause some hip problems if you do it for prolonged periods. The ergo 360 or whatever it is will go forward or backward but they recommend not doing forward for more than about 30 min

[mamanorris]

alwaysnc4me, I have the same shirt! It's my comfy but fancy shirt. Lol
jnnfrrose6, I'm with you on forward facing. I don't think it looks comfortable for the Lo.

[alwaysnc4me]

mamanorris, I got the silver one today! They are 20% off using Cartwheel!!!!

I'm sorry but I laughed out loud! Silly husband. I feel like wearing forward is fine. As long as it's not for a long period. I stroll up and down my road with L facing forward. Probably 15 minutes tops. He loves being able to see the world and not just my boobs.

sararl07, what @sharmon13 said.

Your husband looks so proud and her face is freaking priceless!!

Swinging is fun!!

[ladytiffany24]

Missed this yesterday...but here we go.

When I realized what my last picture was, I almost cheated and chose a different one. But eff it, I'm proud and embarrassed of this picture all at the same time. Apparently, this is what happens when you lug around a needy baby for almost 10 months. Lol

[Liv]

danggggg nice, ladytiffany24!!

Funny story about this...so I was changing in front of the mirror after my shower and just happened to glance up at my arms. I was like whoa. So I flexed in the mirror and was like, well hot damn! Lol. I was used to my flabby old arms. So yea, I took a picture to send to DH who was at work at the time. Lol. He too was impressed.

[dawnfire]

Sometimes I tell LO that I'm going to exercise by doing Baby Lifts and I lift him up towards the ceiling and then back down. He loves it! My left arm is much stronger than my right now--also from holding him.
