After our many summer travels I came home and thought, " just try it on him." Ah ha, it fits!! Bridger is such a smiley baby that these pics didn't take long to shoot. We call him "Big Chubby" due to his thighs that get stuck in the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Bumpo</span> and he's quite the early riser. We spent last week in Lake Powell and I could hear him cooing in his pack-in-play before the morning dawn beamed in on us as we slept up top. He sits in his <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">bumpo</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">squawks</span> at us for real food at the dinner table and loves to cuddle.
