Attachment Parenting Picnic

Saturday Nathan, Sofia and I went to the Attachment Parenting group's picnic. It was at a park in Roswell. It was really nice getting to chat and hang out with friends who are similarly minded in their parenting styles (in the picture are, from left to right, Nathan, Sofia, Jason, Abby, Sophie, Rhea, and Alea [Alea's husband was talking with someone when we took the picture]). It helps to know that you aren't the only one who believes in natural childbirth, breastfeeding until the baby decides to wean, co-sleeping, babywearing, etc.
Just in case you were interested, the 8 principles of Attachment Parenting are:
1. Preparation for Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting
2. Feed with Love and Respect
3. Respond with Sensitivity
4. Use Nurturing Touch
5. Engage in Nighttime Parenting
6. Provide Consistent Loving Care
7. Practice Positive Discipline
8. Strive for Balance in Personal and Family Life
Here is a video of Sofia sitting and playing on daddy's shoulders! We all had a blast!!
