Jumbo-baby needs a new car seat.
Yep, that's right. Baby A had his 4 month check-up today, complete with four shots in the sweet, squishy thighs. Poor thing. He cried harder and longer this time. We've got four again in two months. :( Anyway, he's growing like crazy. I think he might have just gone through another growth spurt because several days ago he was wanting to eat and eat and eat. I was like, but you don't need to grow anymore right now. He begged to differ. So, at four months, he weighs 17.5 pounds and is 27+ inches long. Alas, we have to retire the baby bucket.
And a question, for those of you who have bigger babies, what do you use to carry them in? I have a Bjorn, but he's really getting to big for it. I just bought a Snugli. Haven't decided to keep it yet or not. I bought a fancy sling before he was born, but we never really got used to it. Maybe I should try it again, though.

Cuddly Wrap. Forward facing front carry, but the wrap distributes the weight evenly over your whole back/torso. Problem is, heavy babies make more frequent adjustments necessary. Otherwise, I just use my arms; my left arm, to be specific - don't even try to arm-wrestle me now! Hah. :)
Could you chase after a toddler while wearing the Cuddly Wrap? Does it hold the baby pretty securely in there?
One of those front wrap things like they are talking about will be big enough I'm sure. My friend has a four year old, and she still carries her in it sometimes!
