little Noelle and my need for REM sleep

A question for all of you mamma's. Noelle has been waking every 1.5 - 2 hours a night for the last week or so. This is really not working out for me so well. I have read that at four months they go through a little sleep disruption, I guess this might be it.
I feel like I need a new plan of attack. As they say the only consistency is my inconsistency! Do I go to her every 1.5 hour, do I stick her paci back in, do I feed her each time? One of the problems is she seems to be getting out of her swaddle. She often gets at least one arm out if not both, and then bats her head with them, sometimes putting them in her mouth, which I think she does find soothing. I would like to drop the swaddle now or soon, I really don't want to invest in some fancy swaddle garments.
She has never slept through the night nor do I expect her too, although if she did I wouldn't argue. She does usually sleep 3-5 hours the first time being put down and then wake 1 or 2 times a night.

She is a pretty good napper during the day, she has just developed a fairly good morning nap where she will sleep 1.5 hours, and then naps in the afternoon a couple of times.

Soooooo, what to do. I need a plan, and need to stick to it. How do I break the swaddle habit?

HELP!

Rob's cousin is also following his dreams, his recently published book, he did the artwork, order here

Dallas is steering and Emily is running the gas, safe?

Fun to make a potholder with Em, did we all do these as kids, a classic!

lately on my mind

Emily woke up a couple nights ago wanting a new shirt, her pj top was to wet. She drooled herself awake, so cute!

Dallas is really into books, he wants to read "Little Blue Truck" over and over. If you pause at the right spots he will say "beep" and "moo", but he uses "moo" for all the animals!

I puked myself into the New Year. Embarrassingly enough it started in the driveway of our friends house. No one else has gotten sick which is great, and I am down 5 lbs, great way to start 2011

Rob has started his new gigs, figuring out how to make an office have ample sound absorption figures to be harder than we thought

Noelle is also a drooly little girl, I think it is because she spends more time sitting or standing so her mouth is draining South. She is quite the fashionista as the droolyness gets her 3 or 4 outfits a day

We made him a poster, because it was a special day.

I guess we should have investigated why it was so quite upstairs...

Our first naps at home and not in car seats in three days. Noelle slept for three hours, Dallas for three and half. I think they were so happy to be stretched out. They even slept through the destruction of my pantry and the start of the new shelves being put in!
My present under the tree from Santa was new pantry shelving. Really a gift for Rob and a I but I will be happiest about it. The note from Santa said my contractor would show up Monday and get to work, and be devilishly handsome. A win-win!

I find this adorable, he is wearing adult glasses, has a candy cane in one hand and two cookies in the other

Tonight we did our own version of this

We climbed into the van in our PJ's and drove around looking at lights, eating festive snacks, and listening to Christmas music. It is a perfect outing, Rob gets to drive, the kids giggle and get to stare at things, and I get to relax. The 3D glasses were left over from a movie we saw at the theater.
