Gabriel's firsts
A little over a week ago Gabriel had his first trip to the park (at least the first time he got out of my arms at a park.) He really enjoyed swinging with his first friend in Waco (outside of daycare.)
Tonight, Gabriel went on his first bike ride. As you can see, he was thrilled.
We had a great time though. And with the weather cooling off we have high hopes of getting into riding regularly. We rode around Baylor's campus and enjoyed seeing more of the campus than we have previously seen. I over-heard a few "aww"s as people saw Gabriel slumped over in the back seat!
We tried one of those front seats for the bike first, but it didn't really work that well. It made it very difficult to pedal. And as Andrew pointed out, if I'm not comfortable then it's not safe. How does that apply to bike seats though?
*******************************
The little mad had another fall today too. Just as the big bruise on his forehead was beginning to fade, he fell today against the tv stand and scraped his nose and eyebrow and left a nasty bump. He didn'd cry too badly. I gave him some arnica, which, even if it doesn't help the bruising, he likes the taste of it so it calms him down. I don't have a picture of it, but here's another one of him just for fun.
