I need some advice

So I've been thinking about getting a sling for the baby because I've heard it is a life-saver when you've got a toddler you are chasing around. My sister-in-law let me read some posts from her friends that started to get me thinking... like everything out there, there are many options in slings. I am looking for a little advice from any of you who have used slings. To be honest I probably will only use the sling while the baby is fairly young... but who knows maybe I'll get addicted and keep him in it for longer. Any input on whether you have had one or know someone who has had one, please educate me! Thanks!

So cliche'






Okay so I know this is going to sound so cliche, but we were at Christian's 18 month check up when the doctor said, "Okay see you at his 2 year appointment"... WHAT!?! My baby is going to be 2! When did that happen. It really is crazy how fast he has grown up, he is so much more a little boy then a baby anymore.
At the end of September we set up a toddler bed for Christian, we weren't going to sleep him in it quite yet, we just wanted him to start getting use to it in his room and playing on it. Well Christian had other plans, he didn't want anything to do with his crib and insisted that he sleep in it that night. He did great! We haven't had very many problems which is nice. We use to crack his door open at night and once Christian discovered this we would here the door open at 3:30 am here him run down the hall and say "Hi Dad!" it was so hard to not laugh and want to play with him, he was so cute! So we have had to keep his door shut for the whole night so he will sleep through the night and not come visit us. Other than that things have been fantastic.

He has also figured out how to crawl up on our kitchen chairs and he now knows he can move them around the kitchen to get up to things he wants in the kitchen, it's a whole new game of baby proofing! But so fun with all his new discoveries. I love being a mom!
Hope all of you are doing well :)

Computers

About a month ago our computer wouldn't turn on, between getting it to the shop, finding out what was wrong with it, finding out we could fix for cheaper ourselves, ordering the parts and actually fixing the computer took about a month... I never realized what a computer junkie (blogging junkie) I was until I was without one for a whole month. So everyone sing praises I have a computer again!
