wanted: a lesson in swaddling

you know you are not good at swaddling when you find your child like this after his nap:


(for those who may not know- the baby's arms and legs are supposed to be inside the swaddler. this is even the "dummie proof" kind of swaddler)

sorry Tripp- we will take some lessons and get back to you on that swaddling

He probably just wanted to show off his awesome onesie!

This is hilarious! Graham had magician arms and was able to squirm out of even the hospital swaddle...so annoying!

John and I can relate! Baby John always broke out of his swaddle when I did it. John had more success and eventually we gave up! I bought the special swaddling blankets and they were less effective than our big square blankets. Anyway, some babies like it and others don't. It's handy to help them sleep a little longer, but that will get easier for him as he grows. Loved the pictures your friend took. Can't believe Tripp is 4 weeks old!

Love and hugs, Sarah Jo and John

Ha ha! This picture is so cute! We've already given up on swaddling, and we're two weeks behind you. I think I am totally incompetant because Lizzie looked like that at the hospital (and the nurses would come in and look at us funny and redo it in a flash). Kudos to you for trying harder than me!=)

my aunt taught me how to swaddle when my cousin Elisi was a baby, it took a while to figure out and she often ended up looking a lot like that :)can't wait to see y'all and meet Tripp!

love- lis
