Swaddling
I love to swaddle (is that how you spell it?). There is something about swaddling that just helps a baby sleep longer and better. It is wonderful. But it is a little bit irksome to me that most baby blankets are just too small to adequately swaddle a baby for any extended period of time. After a couple months you have to give up wrapping your baby up tight because your baby has grown too big. Has anyone else experienced this same dilema? It's a sad day when swaddling is over. Well I wasn't ready to give it up yet with Tilson. Me and my magnificent brain thought . . . "Hey. I don't have to use baby blankets to wrap this bundle of joy up! I can use bigger blankets!" And I have. So at six months Tilson is still being swaddled every night, and sleeps like a dream!

Mary, you are so awesome!
The Aden and Anias blanket at target are AWESOME! My baby swaddles, but still wakes up every 3 hours...oh the day will soon come I hope!
We have these receiving blankest that my mom made for each of her daughters. They are quite large and were made for just that purpose! It seems she felt the same way you do about swaddling! When I was at Amy's Mack told his dad he wanted to get rolled up in a "taco", but the idea was to see if he could "get out of it" and not to go to sleep in it! I'll put a picture in it from my epistle. It was a game for him.
lol, that is awesome!! I am definitely going to swaddle this little guy when he comes! I had never thought of doing it when they get bigger...but you have inspired me. ;)
