Home Forever!
we are home forever..Had a rough start as he only wanted my husband for a few days.. very disconcerting to a mom who never had that happen..but today, laid his head on my shoulder and clung to me.. Course daddy went to work today so I guess that I was second choice.. oh, will take what I can get.. So far the only thing he is afraid of is the dog, who is a little schnoodle but he loves my other little ones..Still not sure about my older ones yet, but still hoping.. I wore him today around for quite a while in my ergo carrier ..Thank goodnes he is pretty light so it doesnt bother my back.. Bu he seemed to ejoy it and we walked outside for a little while too.
Thanks for all the encouragement..here's a pic to share!  Coachmom

isn't it surreal to finally be home?
i'm so happy for all of you... especially your sweet little man. "wearing" him is so smart. do it as much and as long as you can. it'll pay off big-time later. thank you for sharing his pic with us - i can't wait to see more!
