strangers shmangers

a couple of weeks ago oliver had his 1 year check-up at kaiser (can't believe this kid is a year old already!!). he had to miss his afternoon nap for the appointment, but he was still happy as a clam toddling around the injection waiting room. then he walked up to this man and held out his arms and the man lifted oliver up and sat him in his lap. oliver was totally transfixed as the man bounced him and made hushing sounds. and within minutes oliver put his head on the man's chest and started to take a little siesta. i just had to snap a shot. the guy and his wife were pretty amused. love this kid.

That is seriously the funniest thing I've ever read. Not only do I find it funny (and an impossibility for my child) that he just fell asleep in the middle of the dr.'s office, but also that it was on a stranger (who up until 18 months, my child was deathly afraid of). What a precious doll. Priceless!

That is so funny and so cute. I'd totally believe it even if you didn't have a picture to prove it because Oliver is the most lovable easy going baby boy ever!

That is so funny. I am too much of a germ freak, so I don't know what I would have done. So sweet, though.

Hilarious and awesome that you got a picture!

Laura said...

Oh my gosh. This is insane!! In my wildest dreams I would never see one of my children do this. I love Oliver!!

That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I had to show Connor since I was laughing out loud. We both had a good laugh over that. What a cutie Oliver is!

Oliver looks cute in anything and even if these photos resurface when he's in high school I'm pretty sure he'll be able to beat up anyone that even tries to make fun of him. Don't worry, Ben...he'll turn out okay. I'm also working on a pair of knitted girly leg warmers...maybe my next pair will be some black ones with a skull and crossbones.

Ben said...

I like the skull and crossbone idea. run with that one :)
