The Kiddopotamus Incidents

Bryce and I have been swaddling Cole in a wonderful little blanket called the Kiddopotamus since he was born. It seems to really help him sleep longer at night. Well, we're wondering if it is time to put the Kiddopotamus away. He manages to get various limbs out of the tightly wrapped and velcro-ed blanket every night. The evidence:

How the Kiddopotamus should be worn.

The toga - one arm and one knee out.

The mermaid - both arms out.

And the most impressive feat of all - the straight jacket. Both arms still in, but the legs kicked free.

Too cute! We had one for Olivia and she always managed to get her arms free. Cole is such a cutie!

Looks like you have the next Houdini on your hands. I know he has changed so much, but he still looks so little! What a cutie!

Oh, my goodness he is so stinken cute! We still swaddle the twins just in regular blankets and they sometimes manage to get themselves all out of it, but it still helps them sleep so much better!
