The end of an era...


This past week we said goodbye to something that was somewhat of an icon around here... Liv's SwaddleMe. Liv happened to be one of those babies that had a lot of trouble sleeping without being wrapped up nice and tight. We called it a "Liv burrito" but many of our friends called it her straight jacket. Call it whatever you want but we called it a good night's sleep. For the past 7.5 months Liv slept in her swaddle - arms straight at her sides except when she managed to escape and pop an arm or two out. The past month she had been "escaping" more often than not and waking up each time so we decided it was time to banish the swaddle. Liv has adjusted to sleeping "in the wild" so well! She loves being on her tummy and we are so glad to not have midnight re-swaddle-me sessions anymore! Plus, I think she's pretty darn cute with her little bum sticking up a bit! (And yes, we have lowered the crib since this picture was taken!)

Sophia loved to be swaddled too. Celia hated it. I was rather bummed. Swaddling=rest. Love your bedding by the way.
