7 months, sitting, and a swaddle story

Our little man is 7 months old today - hard to believe! He has accomplished a lot in this past month... from busting out two bottom teeth to sitting on his own. As I have said before, he is a pure delight to us and we love experiencing all the first year "milestones" with him. Here are some pictures of our 7-month-old sitting on his very own!




Now onto the swaddle story...
We've been trying to break Asher of sleeping with his swaddle for the past few weeks. Most kids are done "swaddling" between 4-6 months, but not our child. He has a terrible time falling asleep without being wrapped up in it. Anyways, we've figured out a way to take him out of the swaddle once he's fallen asleep for the night so he at least learns to sleep the whole night without it (plus, being the middle of the summer, he gets super hot being wrapped up all night). Well, this morning we came in to find him asleep with the swaddle shoved in his mouth!! Yep, he somehow found it at the foot of his bed, shoved it in his mouth, and then fell back asleep. Silly boy has an unhealthy relationship with this piece of cloth. :)

He is so cute in his "straight-jacket", and u cant blame the little guy for wanting to feel secure. He is so cute, and I was amazed at the transformation in him when he gets swaddled. Be sure to put up a pic of him in it before u completely get rid of it. :)

What a cutie - we had one of those long time swaddle addicts and moved him to a Halo sleepsack...worked like a dream and the zipper on the sleepsack makes it so easy to change diapers when you are sleepy!
