my baby is addicted...

...addicted to the swaddle! i thought that we had a good chance of breaking her of the habit this weekend as she's been getting good at napping w/o it but boy was i wrong. she went down w/o it after a good fight (and it only took an hour and a half), but the wee one was up again after only 3 hours and that just isn't a good enough stretch when mommy is used to getting 8+ hours out of her. so of course that night she ended up in bed w/ me because i just couldn't find the energy to put her back to sleep when cradling her in my arms in bed will do the trick for me. night two rolls around and she wasn't cooperating by any means. she'd fall asleep, but not much time would pass before she was up screaming bloody murder again. so i relented and wrapped my baby up like a burrito and the silly thing slept the whole night w/o one incident. i know she'll break the habit sooner or later, i'm just hoping we won't need to invest in a straight jacket when she's 13.

Well, for what it is worth Katherine too loved a good burrito! For a long time. Although you have the fortune that Alice is okay with being a solor burrito. Katherine had to be a burrito and still sleep with Mommy. Could be worse!!

Love you
