nap time nickname

I've been feeling a little sad that Samuel doesn't have a nickname. My mom said that will come with time and she's probably right. Noah was "the boy." Evie is "little squish." So what is Samuel?

Lately we have been calling him "Sam Well." But most of the time I say "little stinker."

Why? B/c of the diapers? No. B/c that boy does not seem to like to nap very well! Correction, he'll nap just fine, just for not very long. He goes to sleep without a fuss and then exactly 45 minutes into his nap, he wakes up and will not or cannot go back to sleep. I've tried everything - nursing him (but since when do growth spurts last 3 weeks?), keeping him up longer, putting him down sooner, putting him down later, keeping him up shorter amounts of time, louder fan. Nothing works. We are working and praying for a solution...

Since the nice quiet crib doesn't seem to help him sleep longer, he slept with daddy the other night for his 45 minutes. Terry really enjoyed it though you can't tell that from here =)

Little stinker Sam Well!
