When Abbie gets cranky, it can get ugly -- and usually ends up with Mommy needing to put down the little pyschopath for a nap. So Mommy puts her in her "straight-jacket" (ah, I mean, swaddle), rocks her to sleep, and puts her in her crib.
It almost always works wonders -- Abbie has been napping great this last month, and when she wakes up, she's in a much better mood.
The funniest part of this routine is the first minute after she wakes up -- lots of smiles, and always the same stretching routine (including some "stretches" which are not-so-lady like -- listen closely at the 16 second mark).

ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite! I love watching her break free from the burrito.
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute! Lily does the same thing - she shoots her arms up as soon as we un-velcro her like she's spring loaded!
ReplyDelete(And I think Abbie is starting to look a bit like Chuck!)
