She wanted to be like her Momma. So her Daddy cinched the buckles down and wrapped the carrier all around her little body. Then he stuffed her monkey, her baby, in the front. And she grinned and she laughed and she strutted proudly to and fro. And her Daddy chuckled.
And her Momma cried.

I wish I have a baby like her. She so undeniably cute. Love your bag Charlotte.

I cried more at this stage than at any other one with my Matthew. The things they pick up on are amazing.

This is precious. I got a bit teary eyed, too. Especially the middle picture on the right.
Babies grow up too quickly.

You may already know this, but they sell baby-sized baby carriers. I know the ones from Ergo are insanely priced, but they have some cheaper ones on etsy and I have a friend who got a used Ergo carrier on ebay or something for like 10 bucks.
Adorable.

My Charlotte’s daycare teacher tied her baby doll on with a scarf. She was so happy to carry her baby and have her hands free ... just like Mama. :)

OMG that is too cute. I can not believe how sweet that is.

adorable! And the picture with her cupping the monkeys head is so darn precious. Very tender moment between monkey and baby! Lol. I love it!

This is too cute! I am making Bailey a sling for her baby right now! :)

Wow. my “w"s totally go all the way across the screen. Guess I should have pressed enter. lol.

So adorable. My kids use their backpacks as carriers for dolls.
-
OMG so sweeeeet!

My mom always said I wanted a baby since I was a baby. I guess Charlotte does too :)
-
So. Stinking. Sweet. I cried like that too, the first time I saw Lizzie trying to carry her baby in my beco (but her papa was still at work—so the carrier was dragging on the floor and she was fumbling—but determined—as she strutting around so proud of herself).....It’s a funny thing, because I swear what got me emotional was thinking about how she may be mama herself someday…and how fast the in between will go!

Hi Sara,
First of all, this post is adorable! Just goes to show what a good mommy you are!
I am one of your faithful blog readers who thinks you are brilliant and hilarious. You always have witty rebuttals to people’s ignorant remarks it seems. Can you give me your responses on what to say when people ask me, “Oh, you’re STILL nursing him!?“ (my son of almost 21 months.
Thanks!

That is adorable! In Ghana, where babies are worn tied to people’s backs; you often see small girls carrying their dolls on their backs (Ghanaians wrap their babies to their backs using a long piece of cloth). It’s super cute!
