In the picture above, Blake is wrapped in a plain receiving blanket...which is so 2005. It's Twenty Eleven now, and there are blankets that serve only this purpose and promise MIRACLES. Kelly loaned us one but I am still undecided on whether or not I prefer the new fangled blankets that GUARANTEE YOUR BABY WILL NOT GET LOOSE.
It's not that it doesn't work, and I know that swaddling is the supposedly the answer to any and every baby problem, but I just feel so guilty when we use it. Like we are putting him in a straight jacket on the way to the insane asylum.
Obviously, he doesn't seem to mind the restrictions.

He sure is a happy little guy. I agree with you about swaddling, I never really felt like they could be comfortable.
Cute pic!
Love you,

That picture makes me feel like I'm in a straight jacket and I want to pull his arms out for him! But, at least he is smiling and doesn't seem to mind it.
totally agree with you on those new swaddle blankets. i did it once for drew and i felt really guilty about it...i took it off after a few minutes!
