We decided that we were overdue to wean Kaitlyn out of her swaddling wrap. We been either using a blanket or a swaddling wrap with velcro (or both at once!) pretty much ever since birth. She has slept so well this way that we've been hesitant to have her sleep without being swaddled. She has outgrown the wrap and her coordination with her hands is better now so she won't accidentally swat herself with her hands. Thus, to both her grandmother's delight, we've done away with the swaddle starting 2 nights ago. It turns out that Sam and I may have been more attached to the swaddle than Kaitlyn. We've had 2 straight nights of continuous sleep (9 hours), the same as she slept with the wrap. The only difference we see is that during her daytime naps, she seems unable to put herself back to sleep after waking during the middle of the nap. This has led to a challenge of getting her through her nap without waking up our whole building.

Goodby swaddle, hello PJ's

cute pj's... kaitlyn now matches the walls in her room. so stylin'.
Hope that girl starts to sleep through nap time!
She's so cute. I'm glad she doesn't have to wear that straight jacket, oh I mean swaddling blanket anymore. She's growing so much. I get excited about seeing her again. Can't wait till Christmas. I sure hope my jury duty is over by the 19th. I don't want to have to go to court while you guys are here or that week after Christmas. Love, Mom
