Shannon,
Just want to share that we love our Ergo baby carrier (
http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/) for our little one. It's more comfortable (both for us and Peanut) than the Bjorn we had used before, plus it doesn't max out at ~ 20 lb. like the Bjorn.
We're also planning to get the Wee Ride (
http://www.weeride.com/centreseat.htm) so we can take Peanut on our bike rides. I really like the fact that this seat puts the kid front and center, to me a much more secure position than behind the adult rider.
And - for relevance - I got a very nice pair of hiking boots for Valentine's Day, which I plan to use on our first hiking trip with Peanut in April. This baby loves being outside, so I think he'll really like being out in the trails.
