I'm so happy that the Ergo Baby peeps are offering their awesome carrier to be given away by some mom bloggers -- and I'm psyched to have a chance to win!

The ErgoBaby Carrier has got to be the best one out there today. After trying on a ton of different carriers (some of which I couldn't even figure out how to put on), it seems that the Ergo is the one! It's pretty simple to put on, and it rests the weight of the baby on your hips instead of shoulder and back. SInce I have lots of back pain that's important.
Wired Magazine featured the Ergo in this month's "Playlist."
And best of all Jolly Mom has one to give away!! http://www.jollymom.com/2009/01/babywearing-at-its-finest-ergo-baby.html
I am always cold. Whenever I'm at the computer or on the couch I'm wrapped in a couple of blankets (one for my lap/legs, one for my top half). Sometimes I even use a blanket at work! So when I heard about the Slanket I thought it was a pretty awesome idea -- a blanket with sleeves that you can pull up over your body and still use your arms! Yay!

I am in love with Eleven shoes for kids. I get really excited every time I see that someone is hosting a giveaway for them, since I want the little monkey to have a nice selection of them. I wonder if the folks who make them will consider making some of these in adult sizes.... I'd love to wear them myself.

OK, I don't have a Beaba Babycook yet but I know I will fall in love with it even more once I actually have it. In its BPA-free container, you can steam food, puree it, and defrost/re-heat it. The monkey has only been eating food for about a week, but we're determined to make as much food ourselves as possible instead of buying jarred baby food. So far we've made a batch of sweet potato puree that we froze into cubes. Seems to be going well. But how awesome would it be if we could put food in the Beaba, where it would steam until done and then automatically shut off, and then puree it in the same container?! Then only have ONE thing to wash after all that food preparation, instead of a whole bunch of dishes.
I imagine that this appliance could well outlast the babyfood phase too -- why not continue to use it for steaming and pureeing all kinds of stuff?

We already h
We don't want to impose any limitations of musical taste or personal style on our little monkey but being old punks and goths ourselves, it's a little hard to tolerate some of the horrid baby stuff out there. We don't dress monkey in all black and skulls and safety pins, but it doesn't hurt to have a few awesomely cool items of clothes, and the stuff from Crazy Baby Clothing Company fits the bill.

The other day someone asked why there are so many pics of the monkey and daddy and not me. Crap! it's because i'm the one always taking the pictures! I do have a collection of badly focused, faces-cut-off pics of me and monkey that I took whilst holding the camera at arm's length. So when I heard about the XShot I realized I really need this!
