Chronicles of Kyperman--Nighttime Edition

Kyperman has been sleeping like a superhero at night. We have had only one awful night since we took him home from the hospital, where he was awake from 12:30 to 4:30. Finally, the faithful sidekick Dad figured out that Kyperman would sleep in his car seat. Therefore, for about a month or so that is where he slept for most of the night. Even then he would give mommy and daddy at least 4 hours at a time. Then about four weeks ago he started sleeping longer. He was still in his car seat when this began--he gave us anywhere from 6 to 8 hours of sleep! Yes, we are so spoiled and blessed with a good baby! Now onto the adventures as of late:

Two weeks ago, we decided to try to get him out of his car seat. He had been taking naps without his car seat, so I knew he could do it. We typically had just swaddled him with a normal blanket, and he would break his arms free. My concern was that he would wake himself up with his arms when he broke free. Fortunately, we had received a swaddle blanket for a gift. We decided to try that at night. It worked! The first night we didn't put him in the car seat, we wrapped him up in this swaddler and he slept a full night on his back in the crib--no car seat. He hasn't slept in his car seat at night since then! Success!

Just recently though, Kyperman has been having some adventures in his crib at night. He is still wrapped, but he moves his whole body somehow. I put him at what I consider the head of the crib. When he wakes up in the morning he has somehow crept down. We can't quite figure out the physics of his movement. I wish I had a video camera. He some how wiggles down and we feel like it would make more sense if he crept up and closer to the head of the crib. Since he doesn't have any arms available, we think he is doing this all with his legs. Which, I would think that he would lift them up and then push himself up. Not sure how he actually pushes himself down. I am glad he goes down though, because at least he doesn't wake himself up by hitting his head on the crib rails. So, in the span of about eight hours his feet are almost touching the other end of the crib. Good thing he doesn't move faster and wake up by hitting his feet. I am now putting him even closer to the head of the crib at night.
