Needless to say we started feeling swaddling Evan at night would make him too warm. Then again, it gets cold around 2-3 am, so we still needed some way to keep him warm. The solution? A sleep sack.
That takes away the problem of keeping him warm, but I wasn't sure he was ready to be unswaddled. Josh said we should try and I decided to go with it, but I had absolutely no faith in it working. Well, it's been 2 nights of happy, 6-hours, unswaddled sleep. Then he sort of wakes up, eats and goes right back to sleep within 30 minutes, unswaddled, and sleeps for another 2-3 hours. His hands get a little cold, especially once he tries to eat them and they get all wet, but that's it. He's such a great baby!
Speaking of hands, he tries to eat them all the time now. He's mastering the art of sucking his thumb, and he's getting pretty good at it! And when he's not trying to eat his hands, he's looking at them figuring out what else he can do with them. He's completely fascinated with them.
And he used to fall asleep in our front carrier, as soon as we started walking. Now he's all awake, looking around and taking in his surroundings. He won't even take his binky, the world is more interesting at that point. Eventually he's fall asleep, but not before a good half hour of exploration.
We're flying to San Diego this Saturday to see Grandpa Chuck and Grandma Debbie (and the rest of the family, of course!), and we should be in WA in 2 weeks time. It's going to be an exciting couple of weeks!
