Baby's First Parachute


We figure that eleven months is long enough and it's time to get Relia ready for Airborne training. Isn't it cute that they design infant parachutes with little bears? Apparently they also come in 'bunny' and 'anvil' patterns.
Ok, it's not really a parachute. This is our horribly controlling harness and leash combo. We had to get it because she's just gotten too fast for us. If we let her walk around, she'll quickly blend into the crowd and be gone. So this is what we went with. Apparently a muzzle and bit would have been too cruel.
Does she like it? Eh. We think she finds it restrictive or something. Well, maybe she does. If you put it up where she can see it she wants it. Then she walks around with it until she gets a strap wrapped around her. Whee, it's fun for all of us!

That is really cute. Everyone on the ship is going to fall in love with her.

We had the puppy one for Kate, too. I know it seems sort of cruel or something, but it's a lot less cruel than having them get lost or hurt when they dart away from you at the wrong moment.

This phase doesn't last too long - they do figure out how to stay by you.

dd4 is right - everyone WILL fall in love with her! We did an Alaskan cruise when Gillian was around 18 months. It was like she had 2,000 new grandparents!
