Enjoyed your humor, your storytelling skills, and your wisdom! As Mom to two adult sons, I'm reminded of one of my favorite verses: "When you were very small and just a touch away, I covered you with blankets Against the cool night air. But now that you are tall And out of reach, I fold my hands And cover you with prayer." -Dona Maddux Cooper- Just found your blog and absolutely love this post!

Now at 4 months he doesn't remain in the swaddle at all. Sigh. They do grow up fast. Because our baby gets out of swaddles so fast, hubby calls our baby Handini (like Houdini).

And this comment..."He was teeny tiny, but was never in any danger, other than being sent home to live with two clueless people." I still feel like that on a regular basis with my 4 and 2 year old...clueless and blessed beyond measure!! Beautiful!!

My little boy is two now, and I am currently swaddling a brand new baby girl - now they make these cool Velcro swaddlers & it really is possibly to make them keep their arms in. :) Ha ha – so true. :) Love the newborn pictures of you & Sean!

I think that's how all new parents feel. I know we did. Thanks for the laugh. I snorted my coffee when I read this:

I know what you mean by swaddling thing. My boys never wanted to be swaddled. They always wiggled their way out. But now they sure do love to snuggle! Merry Christmas, AM!

Born New Year's day, I thought he need to be bundled and swaddled and all that stuff. He got heat rash. He is one of the most hot-natured peole I have ever known.
