Art of the Swaddle

So, it was kind of a long weekend...or at least it felt like it.

As the kids get bigger, we started trying to put them to bed without being in their swaddle. [side bar: I highly recommend the Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe. They made swaddling so much easier than fighting with receiving blankets at 2am.] So far, the boy, Trevor, has been doing great. Even though he started out the smallest, he seems to have the most mature nervous system. Charlotte does ok for a bit, but about 50% of the time she gets very cranky about going to sleep and only calms down when swaddled. Rebecca however, can't seem to do without the swaddle at all (so far).

What makes all this worrisome is the fact that the kids are getting really close to rolling over on their own and we want them to have their hands free if the roll in the middle of the night. Trevor rolled completely over last night, but it was while we were getting ready to feed him so my wife was right there and flipped him back over very quickly.
