FREEDOM!

David had his first taste of freedom Monday night! He's been tightly swaddled during the night since about 2 1/2 months. He spent most of Sunday night getting out of his 'miracle blanket' and woke himself up trying to do so! I came in Monday morning to find both of his arms out and one leg free. His swaddle was down around his knees and he was as happy as could be!

So we decided it was time to let him sleep free of any restraints. This may sound like a normal event for most, but David's sleep habits haven't been the greatest. He naps for about 30-45 minutes at a time (not swaddled). Needless to say, we were a bit worried that we would be up all night trying to get David to sleep longer than his normal time.

Our little man pleasantly surprised us! He slept just like he had when he was swaddled!

We checked on him before going to bed and this is what we found:

And just for perspective: The first picture is when we first brought him home. The second one was from this week. Same craddle...bigger kiddo!
