Swaddling

I am a firm believer in swaddling. I wrap my babies up tight whenever it is time for bed. I love it because they know it is bedtime when the blanket comes out. (Although she doesn't look ready for bed in this picture.) I swaddle my kids until they are about 9 months old.
My mother-in-law gave me a book that said the secret to a happy baby is Swaddling, Shushing, Swinging, Sucking and Being on their side. I don't follow all of the steps but I do swaddle religiously. Heidi has even figured out how to swaddle her dolls because we do it all the time.
My mom always think they look like a little baby in a papoose. You know, the little indian babies that are wrapped tight and carried on the mother's back while they traveled to the river to do the wash.
My mom also says she looks like Charlie Brown-which she DOESN'T. Charlie Brown has a large head. Daisy's head isn't too big but just perfectly round. Like a pancake. I love it.
My mom wanted to see a picture of her chubby legs. She is so big that I put this outfit on for the first time and she already filled it out! Sad. She is just too big.
She is trying to wave goodbye. The video isn't great-just another grandparent video where I am trying to get her to talk. She gives some cute smiles in the video but most of you will think it is too long to watch.
