Baby's First Hike

We took the whole crew down to Letchworth State Park on Sunday. It was a decent day...although not sunny, it was close to 60 degrees. Parker LOVES being in the Baby Bjorn and stays awake for a long time just looking around. Otis loves going anywhere, so everyone was happy! This trail was pretty flat (we avoided the more interesting part of the trail because it is hunting season) but very nice views of the gorge. This is the Genesee River and known as the "Grand Canyon of the East". Two weeks ago it would be been beautiful with all of the fall-colored leaves.

We had a hand-me-down Baby Bjorn that was a few years old and employed a bunch of button type mechanisms to hold the baby. I had trouble putting Parker in it, needing to hold her with one arm and attach buttons with one hand. We decided to invest in a new Baby Bjorn that has much simpler attachments and a lumbar back support. I figure then we can use it for a longer time as she gets heavier. This was the first time using and we still had to make some adjustments...she is riding pretty low in this set up...we have since fixed it.
