I put together a little video of what a usual morning looks like for us. Once Fall is here, we can take our walks anytime during the day, but for now, I try to get out before the heat sets in.
I have been taking Laney on a walk in the Ergo carrier for 45 minutes up to an hour and 15 mintues at times. Talk about a great lower-body workout! In the video I told you about the curious looks I get as to what I'm doing with a baby strapped to me and walking my dog. Ha! But, being carried for a bit during each day is so healthy for babies. I do believe in Laney playing independently as well, but there has GOT to be contact with us for a bit each day and what better way to accomplish that than to carry Laney while I walk. It's such a bonding experience. It also puts Laney to sleep most of the time. Plus, I can walk Daisy at the same time. I can't walk Daisy and stroll Laney. I love taking the stroller too, but if I'm by myself, there's less equipment and it's so easy to just put the Ergo in the car and take Daisy along with us. I feel safer walking with Daisy, especially if I decide to go really early.
p.s. FYI: I filmed one section when we were in the car RIGHT in front of our house in the neighborhood. Nobody was even out at that time.
Enjoy the video!
