Well after yesterday's nap, we had a little battle convincing Sam that a clean diaper was better then a loaded one. It seems he would rather run around with either a dirty diaper or just naked. It is cute, but after a day he seems to be accepting that we will be changing the diapers and is sometime letting us. We then went down to the lobby, to allow the housekeepers to clean the room. Sam seemed to enjoy walking around the lobby, while holding Mommy's fingers (that have begun to get their feeling back).
We then went to the restaurant to see about having some dinner. We did reasonably well for our first meal as parents with a toddler. We tried to order some Chicken Fingers for Sam, but it seems that he wants to try our meals, but after he puts some table food in his mouth, he decided he does not like it. So it looks like we will be feeding him baby food for the duration of the trip.
It was then time to get ready for bed. Sam ran around the room for a little and then we got him ready for bed. He again complained a little when we put him in the crib, but quickly settled down and fell asleep. Again for us, we just enjoyed watching him lay there and eventually went to sleep ourselves. We did get a few pictures of Sam sleeping (nice part of Night Vision on our camera).
This morning we allowed Sam to be our alarm clock, and slept in until almost 8:30am (very late for us since coming to Russia). After some showers for Mommy & Daddy, and a little fight convincing Sam that getting dressed was necessary before having Breakfast. Breakfast was relatively uneventful, although Sam was definitely flirting with all the women he saw. After breakfast, we went for a walk to a neighborhood park (next to the Azerbaijan Embassy). Although Sam seemed curious about the birds and the dogs in the park, he got a little afraid of them when they came near him. With a little hand holding, he was willing to pet the dogs for a couple seconds, before deciding that he was not that interested.
We then came back to the room for a little lunch, and then put Sam down for a nap. Now Mommy and Daddy are going figure out whether we have enough food and clothing for Sam, and then Mommy is going to run to the food store for some more baby food, and Daddy will go to the Baby Store for clothes tomorrow, after going with Vladamir to apply for Sam's Russian passport.
