Bjornin' Around

Today I tried out the Baby Bjorn. Yesterday, I spent some time, in between naps, adjusting it to myself and then I tried my baby in it for about 15 minutes. He seemed to enjoy it. So we ventured out today to the bank to get some quarters for the laundry.

He loved the Bjorn! Fell asleep immediately. I was excited. For me, it was a little bit of a struggle. I don't think I had it positioned quite well on my back and so it was kind of painful (even now, several hours later). I also was paranoid that I would somehow get the one defective Bjorn in North America and it would collapse and he would fall out. I was so paranoid that I kept my arms around it while we walked - which might've defeated the purpose of the Bjorn, but made me feel better. Perhaps eventually I will get over it . . .

Anyways, I was quite proud of myself. I got some good physical activity (we walked about 2 miles), he got some sunlight (as well as a good nap). I also noticed that we got a lot of smiles from strangers as well as little kids who craned their necks to get a look at the baby.

Killed 3 birds with one Bjorn today . . .
