I am still SO jealous of your sleep schedule!

Where do you find the little snugglers in size 3?! I've only seen them in snug and dry and little movers?!!

He is such an adorable baby! My friends just had their first daughter, and their schedule is anything but routine. Has it always been like this or did it take some time?
