Because of Simon's reflux the pediatrician recommended I keep him semi-upright after feedings. I usually put him in the bouncer/carseat/swing for a little while after he eats. The carseat specifically warns against placing it on furniture, but after doing a brief risk analysis I decided it was in his best interest. While I was in the shower I felt he would be best kept out of harm's (Miriam's) way on the bed. 
After my shower I discovered him like this. I guess keeping him at a 45 degree angle can only help so much. Fortunately he is what the pediatrician calls a happy spitter. Miriam was also a happy spitter; although they frequently regurgitate their meal it doesn't seem to affect their temperment. I know his expression doesn't look happy, but what I mean is that he doesn't vocalize his grievances. Eli was a grumpy spitter (if you know Eli, this comes as no surprise), and I'm glad we aren't dealing with that again.

I love his little face! He's so cute!
Gotta love Dr. B!! :D
In spite of being a spitter, he is starting to chunk up. So precious. I need to hold him more:)
Miriam's room is so cute! We've been considering putting Cohen in a toddler bed, how long did it take her to like it? Cohen was a happy spitter too, unfortunately for him it made people not want to hold him for the first year of his life...poor little guy.
