Before and After

I try and always put Carson to sleep at nap time while he is still awake. Since he was born we have always swaddled him up before he goes to sleep and he really seems to like it. Lately, I have been trying to see if he will sleep without his swaddle because he keeps getting himself out of it in the middle of his naps and I think it is waking him up. When he is not all wrapped up his arms seem to wake him up every time they hit the mattress, so I continue to swaddle him. He has started to talk to/sooth himself before he dozes off. So today when I put him down for nap time, snug as a bug in a rug, I sat in the other room for a few minutes until I didn't hear him talking to himself anymore and when I poked my head in ....... there he was, wide awake and chewing on his hand - I had to laugh! Notice, he had already come right out of the swaddle.
