These pictures were taken in the last couple of weeks. Part of our sleeping success with Joseph was de-swaddling him, one arm at a time. Once he slept longer with both arms out of the swaddle than in, we gave it up for good. His new found freedom has also led to lots of movement in the crib. As you can kind of see in this picture, we have a sheet saver (a tie-on pad that catches spit up, so you only swap that out and not the whole sheet) at the end of the crib. That's where Joseph's head goes when we put him to sleep... until he flips himself around in the crib!

This is his other very typical position - legs stuck up on the bumper. Notice the thumb in his mouth? That left thumb is our new best friend - when he's sleepy, he'll start sucking on that thumb, and it instantly calms him, more than the pacifier. He hardly needs the pacifier to sleep anymore, which is really nice.

The little squirmer still hasn't flipped from him back to his belly yet, but he gets really close. I'm dreading that day, since he hates being on his belly and would rather wail than flip himself back over. For now, he continues to impress us with his moves all over the crib.
