All Wrapped Up

One of Jonas' very first character traits was the desire -- and ability -- to take at least one arm out of a tight swaddle, an effort perhaps to maintain at least some control over his situation. But his skills at this have truly become amazing. Putting Jonas down to sleep usually involves a few minutes of listening to his Houdini-like maneuvers to free part of himself from his wrapped surroundings. Even when we think we have produced the tightest swaddle we can, he manages to free an arm, two arms, even the occasional leg. Here's a look at his different stages of swaddledom, or not, as the case may be...

Here's his classic look, left arm out of the swaddle completely...


But sometimes, he manages to get both arms out...


And then every so often, he gives up completely, happy to be surrounded in the glorious warmth of a finely swaddled blanket.
