sleepy selma




(and sleepy papa!)
it's amazing how much babies sleep in the first few weeks of life. greta has mentioned several times that selma is "boring." ha! i should let her try getting up with me every few hours in the nighttime to feed selma. that's anything but boring.

the other thing i want to note about these pictures is that selma (please GOD don't let me jinx it) is able to sleep without being swaddled. we had to do basically a baby straight jacket with greta until she was about 5 months old because she would startle in her sleep, causing her to throw her arms out wide and wake herself up. we tried the swaddle blanket with selma, but she seemed pretty mad about it. once she was able to put her arms up by her face, she was fine. here's hoping.....
