1. I have to have my bed made and all 3 of my pillows in order before I can crawl into bed and go to sleep(drives my husband crazy)

2. I always have to have Kennley dressed in a cute oultfit and a bow in her hair when we go anywhere.

3. I cannot handle having a stuffy nose. I always carry Afrin with me just in case(my family gets so mad at me because it is such an awful habit)

4. I cannot go to a haunted house because of the chain saw man at the end. He will seriously make me pee my pants!

5. I have to always push the shopping cart at the grocery store, for some reason I can't explain.

6. I cannot sleep by the window, or have the blinds open when it is dark outside.(It freaks me out that I can't see out, but someone can see in)

GOODBYE Swaddle.......

Okay, so I know that mostly all of my posts are about our little baby girl Kennley, but that is because my blog is like my journal. I do keep a baby book with all of her first's and a log of how she is growing, but I am much better at the blogging thing and adding pictures along with my stories. So I hope everyone who looks at our blog and reads our stories enjoys:)

So this may sound kind of corney to alot of you, but we are so excited to say that we are retireing Kennley's swaddle. Ever scence she was just a few weeks old the only way she was able to sleep was to be fed, wrapped in her swaddle, and rocked to sleep, but the minute she was able to wiggle those little arms out she would wake herself up and we had to start the whole process over again(even every two hours when she would wake up to eat.) It was such a process every time we put her to bed at night and down for a nap. Don't get me wrong I loved every minute of holding her and rocking her in my arms as she fell off to a deep sleep. It gave my a lot of one on one time with her that I loved very much.....There is just something about holding a precious little angel in your arms and thinking about how blessed we are to have her in our lives.

So, the other day we just decided to try and lay her down for a nap without the swaddle and see how long she would stay asleep. Within a few minutes she was out and slept for about an hour and a half. We thought maybe it was just a fluke and she was just extremely tired, so we tried it again yesterday for her nap, and the same thing happened. We were so excited! So, last night we were a little nervous to put her down without her swaddle because we thought for sure she would wake up at least two or three times in the night(she has just started sleeping around 8-10 hours at night and it has been wonderful.) I fed her and just rocked her for a little while like I do every night and then put her down, and she cried for about 5 minutes and then she was out. We prepared ourselves for the long night and had the swaddle handy just in case, but she did so good and slept through the whole night. We absolutely love it! And I still get my one on one time with her every nap time and every night. Yea............The swaddle is officially retired:)


This was just after nap time when she
would wiggle those little arms out........

For such a big stretch!
