Breaking Free

So, last night was the very first night in my entire life so far that I slept without being wrapped tight in my special swaddle blankets. I did pretty well.

I went to bed a little after 7 as usual. I woke up at 2 AM, and I was a little confused. Then I remembered that I was wearing my big boy sleep sack instead of the swaddle blanket, and I fell right back to sleep. Then I woke up at 4AM. I had been sleeping later than that the last few nights, but I guess with things being a little different it will take me a few nights to adjust. I was tired and forgot why I wasn't wrapped up tight as usual so I whined a little bit. After a while Mommy came in to give me my pacifier and a kiss, but that didn't help much. Finally at 5 AM, Daddy came in with a bottle. That was just what I needed! I went back to sleep until 7 AM.

I think I like my arms being free when I sleep. Now I can get to my fingers to chew on them! Mommy is happy, too. She said that I did much better than she thought I would and that she is very proud of me. She said it's a little bittersweet that I'm growing up so much. She said that I won't be her little papoose anymore.
