Many baby experts recommend 'wearing' your baby several hours a day, says that it promotes bonding and good behavior; and gives you back your arms and hands! Evan doesn't get worn several times a day, but I do like to wear him every other day or so, so he can see what I do as I go around the house. He seems to really enjoy seeing the different things in his view - whether is my having dinner or washing dishes or just moving about the house. He seems calmer while being worn, too, which is always a plus. Here I am taking a photo of Evan and me using the mirror. I don't know if he recognizes himself yet in the mirror but he definitely recognizes me as we would stare at each other through the glass. No one will mistaken Evan for not having enough to eat, as evidenced by the pictures below. One might be tempted to cut back to get rid of 'milk belly' (as opposed to 'beer belly' of grownups), but he'll lose his baby fat soon enough naturally. He himself has actually already cut back how much he eats per meal. During the beginning of the second month, he was eating (easily) 5 oz of milk each time (every 3 to 3.5 hrs). But now he prefers a more moderate 4 oz of milk.
