While our son Eric was visiting, we enjoyed a family hike. Eric carried his 9 month old niece (our grandbaby). The little munchkin's dad was working and couldn't hike with us that day.
She likes to sleep in her backpack, and she was a little surprised when she woke up and found someone other than her dad or mom carrying her.
After staring for a moment, she decided Eric would do.
Soon after, she was so relaxed that she fell asleep again.
Mom checked and said everythingwas okay with the little one. We were good to go.
