Photo Friday #66

Let me start off by saying Lincoln is a noisy sleeper. We've been told most babies are noisy, but I still feel he takes the cake. Most nights go like this... we put him down in the pack 'n play (still sleeping in our room) around 9:00. He usually is ready to eat again around 12:30 or 1:00 and afterwards I put him back in the pack 'n play. Keep in mind he's swaddled each time to keep those flailing arms from awakening him. Then most nights he's ready to eat again around 4:30 or 5:00. At this time he's not sleeping as deeply and begins, what we consider, his "noisy sleepy". At this time I usually put him to sleep in the bathroom so that Joe and I can get a few more hours of shut eye. This probably sounds bad... we have a baby chair in there that he seems to like. Lincoln is not one to enjoy being swaddled once he's starting to wake up. Most times when I get up to feed him he's completely out of the swaddle. On this particular morning he must've had a hard time getting those little arms out. What do you do when you can't get the arms out of a swaddle? You work on the legs instead... Silly baby.

On a side note this little guy slept for a 6.5 hour stretch last night. That's a record! We're making progress. Thank you Lincoln for being such a good baby!
