How to Christmas Shop With A Baby

I have discovered it.

The best way to shop with a baby. Go to MEC and get a baby backpack carrier, Strap baby in. Hoist baby onto back. Baby will then be (a) incapable at grabbing at all those super shiny, hard-to-resist packages, (b)close to Mommy, which, let's face it, is where he/she would want to always be if given the choice, and (c) able to leave Mommy with her hands completely free to push the cart and fill it to brimming with all the (?) necessities of Christmas.

I have also discovered that baby is prone to falling asleep in said carrier due to rhythmic rocking of Mommy's gait, and that the forehead chafing as baby slumps forward is really quite minimal.

Also, rather smugly, I believe I have finished all my Christmas shopping.

Hah.

Yeah yeah... rub it in! I haven't even started my shopping!
Oh well, I'm busy with other things such as maybe... my future?
Ahhh yes. University.

P.S. I'm loving that big A is asking questions now - and so it begins!
