Working On Our Issues

We have been having issues with sleeping and wanting to be held all the time. Now, I have been reading everything I can get my hands on to see where I went wrong and how I can correct it. Miss Ellie likes to sleep on our chests or in the bed with us and she has a hard time settling down. She jerks herself awake and doesn't just fall asleep if I lay her down. She cries!!!! When she is awake she gets bored very quickly but isn't content to be placed in her bouncy seat or swing....so we've been holding her.
Ryan and I have been making a huge effort to try and get her to be a little more independent and she is making great progress so far! Keep all fingers and toes crossed! We have started swaddling her when we want her to sleep hoping she will stay asleep longer. Our little one is something of an escape artist because she can get out of any swaddle. We had a special swaddle blanket that velcroes and she got out of that. This is a picture of her in the latest swaddle blanket I've purchased. It wraps all the way around her body and velcroes underneath and on top. Now, she can get out of this one too, but it takes her much longer and she usually doesn't make it out before her nap is over.
The other pictures are of her in her new Baby Bjorn. We've only successfully gotten her in it once! This is for times when she wants to be held so she can be close to us and our hands can be free to do other things around the house. We are still very new at it and getting her in it can be a little awkward and she screams like we are cutting off body parts...but we are going to keep on trying!
