If you want to seduce an old person, wear a baby in a baby carrier. Just sayin'. I took Victor to the outlet mall today because I needed a particular item, and he was awake so I put him in his little baby carrier (facing out again!) and put his little tropical bucket hat on him, and he was soooo cute! I got smiles and stares from people all over! He makes a great distraction from unbrushed hair and unshaved legs, that's for sure :) He liked it, too, he just chilled out and licked the front of the carrier the whole time. That's his current favorite thing, licking fabric, be it towels, shirts, blankets, or the baby carrier. Oh yes, and his hands, and my arm or hands. Sometimes when I feel liquid running down my arm it's not spitup, it's drool. I still can't get him to lick or chew his toys, of course. Even though we tried to stay in the shade as much as possible, I think all that sunshine wore him out because he's passed out in his car seat still.
I'm pleased to say that Victor seems much happier this week! He hasn't had one of his meltdowns yet, and he's started talking and cooing again and smiling much more than he was last week. And he's been sleeping so well in his crib in his own room that we took the pack 'n play down! It's so funny, I can't get him to take a nap in his crib for longer than 30 minutes during the day (where at the same time he can sleep on me for hours) but as soon as we put him down at night he falls asleep pretty quickly and stays that way for 6-8 hours at a time. Yay Victor! I don't know how long it will last but I'm certainly enjoying it for as long as it does :)
