Head Over Heels

Two things happened yesterday:
  1. Rowan went for a significant tumble off my back as I was trying to get him into the Ergo. He went head over heels and landed on his stomach. Thank God the bed was there to break his fall. He cried nonetheless. Had I not been in someone else's home I might have cried too.
  2. After spending the afternoon out with Anne and Daniel and then having dinner with them and Richard, we came home with a very sleepy boy. He was in bed for about 15 minutes before I joined him. I went to put my arm around him and there was his bum. He was sleeping face down on the bed. Had I not known that he was only that way for a short time I might have panicked. Instead, I had the urge to get the camera. I knew the camera would wake him though and so there is no photographic evidence to show. He looked pretty darn cute with his arms under him.
Despite the above, Rowan and I had a wonderful day hanging out with baby Daniel and Anne. We tried to go to a baby group but it was canceled and so we joined the other 15 moms or so at the bar right next door. The business men trying to have lunch stuck out like sore thumbs. Bath really is a baby-friendly city and we will miss it and our friends when we return to the cold tomorrow.

I wish I had remembered my camera so that I could have taken a picture of Daniel and Rowan together... They were the cutest babe in the bar.

I meant to ask - why do you carry him on your back? I realize that he's at the stage where he likes to look out and see the world but why not carry him on your front?
