"Come live with me and be my love,/ And we will all the pleasures prove,/ That valleys, groves, hills and fields,/ Woods or steepy mountains yields." --Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Okay, maybe I am a baby gear hog...

Some of you know how I vowed before Claire was born to be a minimalist in terms of baby gear. Of course, I'm mostly eating my words (a glance around the house right now reveals an exersaucer, johnny-jump up, play mat, and bouncy chair). However, considering everything you COULD buy for a baby these days, I give myself a B-. I do have to admit to being very excited when our newest baby gear arrived on Thursday, mostly because it's OUTDOOR baby gear which means we can use it to get back into the great outdoors with Claire. The latest purchase is a baby hiking backpack by Sherpani. (I did get it at a great price from REI outlet with a 20% off coupon for members.) A test run out around the yard on Thursday night proved a hit with Claire. Let's hope she feels the same way when we get it out on an actual trail!

Just think, the mini-van could be next to add to the baby gear! Never say never...
