Today I finally carried Mia out for a long walk in the neighborhood. I used the carrier on my own and did not forget to pin one side like what I did last time when I carried her out with Mike. She was heavy but the fit was snug and I got used to it in a few minutes. Mia peeked under her hat and grabbed my index fingers with her hands. I talked to her as I wore her around. I felt very close to her. When the weather is decent, I will carry her out more.
