no more swaddling?

Last night was Claire's first night that she slept in her bassinet without being swaddled. She had her arms out, but was still wrapped around her waist. We decided not to swaddle her because on Wednesday night she fell asleep on the couch. She looked so cute. Bryan said that she looked like a little person. She had her arm up over her head and one leg bent at the knee and sticking up in the air. 

So, last night I said I would try leaving her arms loose. (We tried doing that in the past, but she hated it and would cry. She never slept through the night unless she was swaddled tightly.) However, last night she did great. She fell asleep around 10:30 am, woke up (with Daddy) for a bottle at 5:30am, and didn't wake up again until 9 am. 

Our little girl is growing up.

My mommy is funny! (11 weeks 4 days)

My mommy is so funny. I laughed for the first time today. 
She made these funny faces and noises and I couldn't stop laughing. 
I was laughing so much that I even made my mommy and daddy laugh. 
I could tell that I made my mommy happy because she couldn't stop smiling. 
I am a happy baby. (At least that's what everyone says.)
