Waking up from a Nap

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).

  2. This is my favorite! I love watching her break free from the burrito.

  3. Oh 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!

    (And I think Abbie is starting to look a bit like Chuck!)
