It would seem she's trying to tell me something

As in, Hey Mommy! Swaddling is a moot point!

Swaddling, for the uninitiated, is a way of wrapping a baby tightly in a blanket. In the early months, it is reputed to recreate the close quarters of the womb; hence, it helps soothe them and pave the way for them to fall asleep at naptime and bedtime. Rob and I became early believers in swaddling almost from day one, and at some point I became quite good at it. It could be said that I could create the indestructible swaddle. And yet, at some point Dorothy became quite good at working her hands free from the swaddle. She is getting so strong! About 2-3 weeks ago, she was able to consistently get her hands free (and during that same time, she has developed a voracious appetite to have her hands in her mouth at all times. Coincidence? Probably not!)

Anyway, getting her hands free was one thing...but Exhibit A (above) shows how I found her this morning when I came to her crib. Once again, for the uninitiated, the swaddle usually wraps around the baby's legs and feet (which in this case are completely free), but does not typically incorporate the baby's head (and yet in this case she has shifted downward so much that it appears that the swaddle includes a hood!)
