My one splurge as far as baby equipment goes was this Babyhawk Mei Tai that I bought used off Ebay. She'll usually calm down after I put her in this & start bouncing up & down while I do housework. (More Ella pictures to follow in the next couple days - I was reminded by a friend that I have a blog that needs to be updated :) I added a link to her babysite over to the right.
