Sleeping like a baby

As any new mom (and some not-so-new moms) will attest to, how your baby sleeps can be a pretty big deal. And, just when we start to figure something sleep-related out with Isaac, he's ready for the next thing!

Lately, though, our little monkey got tired of just sleeping on his back. Our first indication of this was in Charleston, when he rolled from his back to his front while swaddled one nap. Thankfully, we saw when this happened, and we started using rolled up towels to keep him from rolling over.

However, when we returned to Virginia, rolling wasn't enough for Isaac. He decided he'd scoot all over the crib, and maybe roll some in the bargain. We'd start out by putting him on his back in a sleep positioner like this...

And just a few minutes later we'd find him like this...

After a week of watching him fall asleep so we could keep putting him on his back, we realized it was a lost cause. Our boy just wants to sleep on his stomach. So, as of this past Sunday (August 5th), Isaac is swaddle-free and sleeping on his stomach. We had a couple rough days while he got used to not having his swaddle, but now he's sleeping like a champ, on his stomach every time! (We actually still put him down on his back... but it only takes him about 2 seconds to flip over!)
