Thanksgiving 2009

April, Alan, and Sam
Sunset on the Beach (Hilton Head Island, SC)

















Sam fought hard not to fall asleep, but he finally lost the fight in Grandma's lap. He didn't want to miss a second!

Shoulder-Sized Messes

Sam (and his mom and dad) are thankful that Aunt Amy introduced us to her Baby Bjorn and let us borrow hers (until she needs it for her little one that is on the way!). Sam absolutely loves to be carried in it facing outward so he can enjoy a great view as we walk. The picture above is the one time that he actually fell asleep while I walked with him in the Baby Bjorn---I didn't think it was possible for him to fall asleep in the upright position! This is definitely his preferred mode of transportation over the stroller. The only problem we have is when he needs to poop--and we happen to be carrying him in the Baby Bjorn--there is only one way for the poop to go...and that is UP! It sometimes goes up to his shoulders! Here is a picture of me cleaning him after one of those shoulder-sized messes. Did any of you ever have this problem?
