Adrian's New Leash

Now that Adrian is more comfortable being on his own two feet, he's become more independent and prefers to walk himself instead of being carried by either one of us (this saddens me as it clearly demonstrates his growing independence and that our little munchkin will become less and less dependent on me - a tough pill to swallow for a super overprotective 1st time Mum) =(
Well, back to the original subject matter - our little munchkin requires more attention when we're out and about -- especially at the store. Since he no longer wants to be contained in a shopping cart or in his stroller and certainly not in our arms, our inclination was to get a "baby leash" to ensure his safety. Sadly, judging by the reaction on the little munchkin's face, we may be looking at adding another item to the pile of rejected baby items!
