-This kid loves to eat! He's gained exactly 3 pounds since birth! When I sit down to nurse him you can guarantee on a minimum of 30 minutes, a few times he's almost nursed for an hour!
-He loves his bouncy seat when he's tired, the only way he will nap in his crib during the afternoon is if I put his seat in there.
-To be up. He's super curious and wants to see the world and everything going on.
-To be swaddled. If he's tired and you swaddle him he's a lot happier.
-Bath time after I'm done washing him. He likes to be in the water as long as I'm not messing with him

Dislikes:
- Being in his carseat if he's not moving. He'll cry when you're strapping him in but as soon as you pick up the seat and start moving he's ok.
-Laying down when he's awake. Like stated above, he wants to be held sitting up or up looking over your shoulder so he can see everything.

Baby Product Review: Swaddleme Blanket

 Like almost every other baby Nolan loves to be swaddled. And, like almost every parent, I could never get those darn hospital blankets tight enough to keep him confined! Those first few nights home were pretty rough because he would break out of my attempt to swaddle him and cry because he was upset so we definitely didn't get very much sleep.

I remember seeing swaddle sacks on Target's website so I decided to look some up on amazon.com (thanks to swagbucks I get things for free :-p ) and I discovered the Swaddleme Blanket and ordered one immediately!

It has seriously been one of the best baby products I have purchased! It keeps Nolan snug and comfortable all night and is super easy to change his diaper in the middle of the night without have to unswaddle him all the way (the bottom half just unvelcros). Since using it he started giving me longer stretches of sleep during the night, too!

If you have a baby that likes to be swaddled I would highly recommend getting a swaddle sack and making your life so much easier and your baby so happy!
