To Swaddle or not to Swaddle?

We have been swaddling Hudson before bedtime to prevent his arms from flailing about and waking him up. Hudson however wants his arms out -- he doesnt realize that they are the source of poor sleep and many interruptions at night -- and Houdini gets his arms out. Last night I re-swaddled him 4 times and he got out all four times and, sure enough, woke up shortly after each time.
Now I am not sure what to do... Waking up four times to re-swaddle him sort of defeats the purpose of swaddling... And lately he has been sleeping really well in the crib (Yeah!!) but last night was not a very restful night... we'll see how tonight goes!

In the crib?!?! Hooray! That was really fast mom and dad! Good job. You are such great parents. No wonder he is the happiest baby on the block! :)
