Swaddle me up, and then...

Swaddle me up and then... comes the beautiful peaceful sleep every parent longs for at the end of the day. In the picture where Malaki is in that burrito looking wrap is what we call swaddling. We got this a 2 years ago for our first son and when I went to go look at it again I forgot what it did. Just recently we were at a friends house and she was explaining how babies have light sleep and sometimes wake themselves up when they flip their arms up... then she showed me her swaddler that she had and said they are a "must". I then laughed saying that I have had one all along and didn't know what it was for. I was thinking it was for drying the baby off after a bath and thought "that's just to much work, a towel is just fine!". Needless to say Malaki hates having his arms tucked in places... and surprisingly he loves this thing. He has been sleeping in spans of 4-5 hours in the night since about 6 weeks; boy has this been a blessing to our sleep in the night and energy in the day! Also pictured is a nice one of him crying... and crying... and crying some more. Boy does he have some STRONG lungs! How we would love to say that he is a great baby who doesn't cry much... sure, he is a great baby; but he also has his moments. Enjoy this amazing child of God with us as we take life day by day. All our love...
