If you know anything about the sleeping habits of our babies, you know that this picture represents a proud moment in Luke's life. Historically, all our children have been addicted to swaddling from the moment of birth (pretty much), and with Carter I believe this stage lasted until he was at least 7 months old. It got to the point where I was seriously considering using duct tape to hold the swaddler together, because he would break free from it and wake himself up countless times each night. However, he just couldn't fall asleep (or stay asleep) without it! His arms would flail about, he'd knock himself in the head, and immediately start crying until Mommy came in to swaddle him yet again.
The same was true for Amelia, although she quit a little bit sooner than Carter, and Luke has also been a swaddling addict from birth. He recently made the big switch, though, and now is officially an un-swaddled 4 month old baby! I had to take a picture to document this important milestone. : )

I love when they have their hands up like that :)
Funny, I've never swaddled any of my kids for more than a week after leaving the hospital. Glad your little Luke has crossed that milestone :)
