Neighborhood Walk

Yesterday evening, Drew got out the Kelty backpack/stroller we bought when we were first pregnant. He's been waiting a while to be able to use it. Jasper has enough neck control and is stout enough that we think he is ready for this adventure. Jasper enjoyed inspecting the Kelty while Drew was getting it set up.

Jasper is strapped in here snug as a bug.

Check out the reflective tape on the shoulder straps!

Jasper was already a little tired when we left, but he did a great job. He spent the entire walk looking at the trees, the street lights, the sky, etc. He was taking it all in. He controlled his head really well, and only as we were turning into our driveway at the end of the walk did his head start really bobbing ... but his eyelids were also closing. Drew said the backpack is really comfortable, and he's looking forward to more walks with Jasper to train for his backpacking trip this fall.

Here is a quick video from our walk. Warning: it's a little bumpy b/c I was walking along side them to take the video.

Look at those eyes!
