Downward Facing Baby

When I was pregnant with Gabe, I took some Yoga classes at our local gym. It helped me alot to stay loose for childbirth preparation and to strengthen my back. I really enjoyed learning the deep stretching practices and the deep breathing techniques. I have also read that being upside down is good for brain development......So......

When we noticed Gabe doing his own Downward Facing Dog (that's what this pose is called in Yoga) we didn't worry. I have however, been trying to catch it on film for a while now as he does this often and seems to enjoy it. It is a pretty comfortable position and he is able to look out behind him through his legs, or even pick up a dropped toy this way. He likes playing hanging upside down by his feet with Daddy too! Guess it works for him!
