thrasher

olivia is slowly but surely letting us know she is done with the swaddle. this is a bummer because she falls asleep so much faster in her little cacoon. but lately she's been screaming when i put her in it until i finally come in and undo it and she is literally drenched in sweat. so, we're trying the non-swaddle which is also causing her to be a bit of a maniac. it's like she CANNOT relax enough to go to sleep these days so when she finally gives up and goes to sleep, it's right in the middle of her thrashing around her crib like a crazy baby. once she's out, she sleeps great, but lately it's been a bit of a challenge to get her in to sleep mode. here's how i caught her last night when she finally stopped crying and gave in to her tiredness. gotta love those chunky calves.



happy as can be with sleepy eyes this morning....

She's growing up and is getting a mind of her own! Seth and Ian both tucked their hands into the side of the crib too. I always thought it was so cute.
She's adorable and yes, I love those chunky thighs!

This makes me feel better. We're going through the same thing with Luke. Sweaty baby in the swaddle and thrashing baby without it. But Olivia looks to be much happier in the a.m. than our little guy! I can't wait to meet her when we come to WP. PS- Joel has those same jammies....they can pass as unisex, right?

haha yes ashley- definitely unisex if not more boyish. i worried about that but they were on super sale so i couldn't resist.

Too cute for words! I wish Molly could still wear her cute shorts pjammers, but it's FREEZING here, so the footies ones are a MUST. I love her chubs and can't wait to meet the little lady in person. (I got to meet Brooke's little Ruby Jane yesterday and she is a DOLL!!) They came to Jess's shower at our aunt Christena's. She'll post about it I'm sure. Miss yoU!!

What a cute little PJ wearin' gal! How old is she now? I was trying to remember exactly when she was born.

It's so hard to be powerless to solving our little ones problems, like being able to MAKE them go to sleep when we know that's what their bodies desperately need.
