Sleep sleep sleep

We've been working on getting a little more sleep around the house.
Alex has been swaddled for most of his young life for every nap and each night. Much like this:



Or this...
(Okay - I know I have a pic of him napping in his swing, I just can't find it right now! So use your imagination. )

However, this is one of the last times he slept swaddled up. Aw, sleeping so peacefully.




Then mean ole mama goes and takes away the swaddle and makes him figure out how to sleep with those two arms of his flailing around, grabbing at his ears, his nose, his pacifier.... Eventually he figured it out (yes, he's actually sleeping in this position).


Here he is snoozing in his carseat...


And here is the big one sleeping in his handy dandy carseat. At least his head doesn't flop forward so bad - looks like a halfway comfy ride!


I'm thrilled that Alex is now sleeping 5-6.5 hours in a row!! Previously, we were getting 1.5 - 2 hours of sleep at a stretch. The changes we made were hard but are paying off it looks like. Speaking of - I should probably be in bed right now since he's about to head into his 2nd hour of sleep for the night!
