Well not in this picture obviously!Also, I have found the secret to getting Samuel to nap and sleep 6 hours at night! What is it you ask?! Well it is not his nice crib, bassinet, pack-n-play, swing or bouncy chair...but his CAR SEAT! I have considered returning all the previously mentioned equipment to let my son spend his first year of life solely in his car seat! :) I have to tell you that it bothers me that this is where he sleeps, I feel like a bad mother letting him sleep there...but he obviously enjoys it so I got over it real quick! At some point in the next few weeks (months) he will have to learn to sleep somewhere else but for now everyone is enjoying this little gift of sleep that we are getting AND my arm is getting a break during the day! Anyone else have (had) a car seat sleeper?

UGH! Ian hated the car seat from 3 weeks until we got him a convertible one at 5 months. He screamed bloody murder every time we put him in it. He was a bouncer seat sleeper, or on mommy sleeper. We moved him to the crib in his room at 12 weeks...although he still naps in mommy and daddy's bed. You are right, though, any uninterrupted sleep is worth it! That's a GREAT mom (not a bad one!!)
Isn't it near impossible to get those first few smiles?? Cameras just aren't fast enough! A friend of mine had a car seat sleeper...she started putting the car seat IN the crib!! Eventually he got adjusted to sleeping in the crib alone. Yeah, mommies everywhere will take their babies sleeping anyway they'll do it!! Love you! I'll try to call soon!
I was a car sleeper, and I turned out OK...for the most part. :-) I say, take the sleeping any way you can get it and call it a win!
