International Babywearing Week Update

We appreciate everyone so much for coming out to our International Babywearing Week events. This was our first year as an official Babywearing International chapter to participate! We hope everyone had a great time at all of our events and playdates. This year we celebrated by having a trip to the zoo, a potluck at one of our member's houses, park playdates, an ice cream social at a local ice cream shop, a playdate at the mall play place, a babywearing ballet class, and a donut party to end our week's festivites!

Check out some of the pictures from International Babywearing Week!
