My handsome boy! Who hates naps!!!

Here are several of my favorite pictures from Sam's 3 month photography session. It was hard to choose from the 60+ pictures. He's even bigger now! That boy is growing. He's a piggy. He's also started a slightly annoying habit that we hope to break soon. He sleeps like an angel at night but HATES NAPS...with a passion. At night we put him to bed around 7:30 and wake him around 10:30 for a quick bottle. He sleeps through the night and wakes anywhere between 6:30 and 8:30 in the morning. But he despises naps!!! He will be snoring in my arms, eyes closed and limp as a noodle. The minute I gently place him in his crib he starts screaming bloody murder. Sometimes he will cry for 10-15 minutes before he finally collapses from exhaustion. He will even wake up to scream. Today he was screaming in his sleep. I peeked in his room, and he let out a scream and immediately fell back asleep. He usually only fights naps, but he has now started the same routine at night. I went jogging tonight while Spencer fed him. I came back around 7:15 to Sam screaming and crying in his crib. It only lasted about 5 minutes, but it is tortuous (and a little maddening) to hear! I did some research, and it looks like he may be crying from exhaustion or the need to be comforted by us. My mom gets on to me for holding him too much. She worries that I am spoiling him...maybe she is right...but I don't care! :) Holding my sweet Sambo is one of my favorite pastimes. We will get through this phase.
