Are YOU Man enough?

The "Man Sling".... Little Man loves to be in the sling. We've been having a pretty intense "bewitching hours routine" for the past week or so and about the only thing that worked consistently was putting him in my sling and walking. Walking, walking, walking. I finally broke down and asked my neighbors if it would wig them out to see me on their nice comfy porch swing at 2:00 am and we both laughed. She even joked that she may leave cookies out for me one night. So far, no cookies. I do get hopeful every night....

Anyhow, all this to say, we needed a way for Rob to help out. He's such a great Daddy and really does pull much more than his expected weight on the baby front. But, with his work and potential for wrist injury, we had to come up with something to help out...

I love Andy's little hand sticking out here. He looks SOOOO tiny compared to his Daddy!
He refused to "pose" unless I made it manly. Here's his favorite reading chair and a little treat of Scotch. He doesn't really smoke cigars, but thought this would be a nice touch. We received it in a birth announcement from a friend of his in Seattle. I thought it was pretty funny.
