For those of you who we have spent holidays, vacations or any other amount of time with Amy and I, realize we have a passion for the outdoors. In addition, Amy has a very difficult time sitting still. The woman is always on the move, either on the trail or on her bike. Since I have known Amy, I think the longest she has gone without doing some sort of exercise or physical activity is 3 weeks. This 3 week period was following a serious accident with a horse and left her in a back brace for three months. Even then she was back on the stationary bike within weeks. Throughout her pregnancy Amy was constantly on the go, hiking almost to the very end of the pregnancy. We did a 3 and a half hour hike in Herrimans State Park less the 48 hours before Rose was born. So needless to say Rose has already spent a lot of time on the trails. So at 10 days old Rose Katherine took her first official hike, a 2 and half hour stroll through South Mountain Reservation. Enjoying the outdoors with little ones (even really little ones) is easy. There are all sorts of baby carriers, from backpacks to slings. At this young age the sling is perfect for Rose. We have a Havo by SlingEZee. It is a versatile carrier for newborns, that is light weight and breathable. Perfect for getting out there on the trails. Plus, I look really good in it. Rose enjoyed her first day in the woods with the whole family. Actually, she slept through the entire thing, but I guess that is a good thing.
