Cannon has really been into screaming, when he's happy or mad. He did it all day yesterday and this morning. I took this video this morning when he was playing in his crib. He talks to himself all the time! It's really cute.
So I decided it was time for him to learn how to sleep without being swaddled. This was my third attempt, but this time I was ready to deal with short naps and middle-of-the-night wake-ups. My reason for this was because he gets out of his swaddle at night, which wakes him, and the blanket gets around his neck and face (not safe!). He is also going to start rolling over any day now. So I started this on Saturday for naps. His naps were okay, but it went better than I thought. Then Saturday night he went to bed at 8:30. He is a champ when it comes to going to bed. We have our little routine and then I lay him in bed with his music on and he usually is quiet or talks himself to sleep. Saturday night was no different. And he slept until 6:30am, so I was happy about that! Sunday he had horrible naps. He never slept longer than 45 minutes! So last night I put him to bed at 8:15 and he slept until 7:20! And this morning he took a two hour morning nap! So hopefully this good sleeping will continue.

Yay! Congrats on the success! It is always so hard to decide when to stop swaddling. We swaddled Mari until she was 6 months and Mylee broke out of it around 3 months, but she had her fingers to soothe her. I hope he keeps being a great sleeper for you!
You are very brave! and So lucky! I am so scared to start unswaddling.
He is SO adorable playing in his crib. Cole couldn't ever wait to get OUT of that crib.
I love the screams! So funny! He's so content in his crib! What a cutiepie!
You will have to share your secret with me in a month or two since Connor is a swaddler. Hannah didnt care too much whether she was swaddled once she got past the first two weeks but Connor and those arms...if I dont swaddle him he is wacking himself in the face from jerky movements. Nutty boy.
