So, for all of Sam's four-month-old-life, he has hated to have "tummy time." As loving parents, we still force him to lie on his stomach for a little while each day, and just bear with his crying and exasperated looks which seem to say, "Hey, aren't you going to help me out here and flip me over? Don't you know that I'm hating this?"That is, Sam has hated tummy time until we dressed him in the magic pumpkin sleeper. Our Aunt Susie mailed Sam this Halloween-themed sleeper, which he has been faithfully wearing this whole month. And when he wears this sleeper, he likes tummy time. In fact, he liked it so much last week that he fell asleep promptly after I laid him on his stomach for the obligatory exercise time. I was baffled. It was magical. There was no swaddling + rocking + shhh-ing + roaring white noise + nursing + bouncing for fifteen minutes to get Sam to sleep. And he was on his stomach. I know you're not supposed to let babies sleep on their stomachs anymore, but I had to let Sam snooze while I took pictures of him in his magic pumpkin sleeper.
Maybe Sam liked sleeping on his stomach because he could show off his cute pumpkin bottom?
Everyone needs an Aunt Susie who can give their kids magic pumpkin sleepers.

I love the jammies! And, hooray for sleeping through the night. I hope it continues and you get MANY more!
It's definitely the sleeper. Rachel has a "cursed polka-dot" outfit. The last few diaper blow-outs this month have happened on the days when she wears her polka-dots. Also, not a coincidence.
Heeeey... We had blow-out pants too. They were my favorites, with ridiculous ruffles on the bottom. But guaranteed to induce explosions e-v-e-r-y tiiiiiimmme. We need magic pumpkin jammies, though. Because I? Do not need to nurse at night ANY. MORE.
hooray for aunt susie and sam the pumpkin!
Just wait about 10 years and they'll renege (did you know how to spell this word? i had no idea) on the sleeping on the stomach and say that babies must sleep on their stomachs or their brains won't develop, or they'll never learn to speak, or they'll lean slightly to the left when the walk...
I love this post, and those jammies?! Oh my goodness, so cute! But, I can't help but wonder what Sam is going to say in 15 years when he sees pictures of a pumpkin on his behind, ha ha :)
He is such a freaking cute stinkbug!
