The babies are finally sleeping unswaddled. We stopped swaddling them on New Years Eve. We give them blankies to snuggle. I went to get Gabe from his nap and laid him on the floor to play when I noticed he still had his blankie in his hand. They love their blankies! How cute!
We have the same nighttime routine every night. The babies have bath at 6:00pm, bottle at 6:30pm, and bed at 7:00pm. We listen to the same nighttime CD's and have the same music playing in the nursery every night. Well, somewhere between 5:00 and 5:30 the babies start to get really cranky. They have been up all day playing and are getting tired. This is right when Jeff gets home unfortunately. We try very hard to get them to 6:00 to start baths so they wont go to bed before 7:00pm. It has became part of our routine to dance around with the babies from 5:30 to 6:00. It makes them giggle and laugh, therefore not in complete meltdown and daddy gets some fun time with them before bed. It is hysterical to watch the babies giggle as daddy dances with them. Daddy dances with 2 of them while mommy dances with the other one. As soon as the CD stops to switch to another song the babies all start crying again then they stop once the grovin starts! It is adorable. Here are some pictures of daddy doing the nighttime jig with the babies. Its a good thing he's a strong daddy~!
