Roly Poly!

So our little guy is finally out of the swaddler at night, and boy oh boy has it been an adjustment for all three of us! James LOVES to be swaddled and for the first 4 months he needed it like he needed air. Nothing else would do at bedtime but to be wrapped up like a tiny baby burrito! We started out wrapping him in receiving blankets and when he outgrew those we started using the Boppy Swaddler. Well this baby boy has some loooooong legs so we had soon had to order a Miracle Blanket (and it really is a miracle, let me tell you!). Well about 2am the other night we hear James fussing over the monitor. I waited a minute to see if he would go back to sleep but soon the fussing turned to panicked crying. I ran to his room to find him in his Miracle Blanket on his belly! Poor little guy! There was no way James could roll himself back over. It scared me to death! So that was the last night being swaddled and ever since we have a real roly poly on our hands. He ROLLS ALL OVER the crib, running headfirst into the sides of the crib. James is basically a miniature version of me flailing all about. Daniel wakes up with mysterious bruises from where I have whacked him during the night and I think James will be the same way. He seems to really like sleeping on his side. Thank goodness he is finally getting used to it. At first he would wake up and panic because he would be in a different spot in his crib and not know where he was. It really threw James for a loop if he woke up and his crib mobile was not directly over his head! So funny! We get such a kick out of this special baby! :-)
This is a really hectic and stressful week for me at work: TAKS TESTING!!! AAGHHHH! Keep your fingers crossed that my kiddos pass tomorrow!
