Sleeps like a baby??

Would the person who coined the term "sleeps like a baby" please step forward.  We need to talk.  What kind of baby were you referring to?  Obviously, not a human baby.  Or, at least, not one of mine.  Mine grunt and groan.  Mine get pissed at having to sleep on their backs all by themselves.  Mine are far more comfortable in Mommy or Daddy's arms and don't seem to feel the need to fart, poop or spit up while there.  

Johnny hates his co-sleeper.  I'm not sure if he just prefers the warmth of our arms or if lying on his back, all stretched out, messes with his GI tract.  He seems to struggle with passing gas/pooping while there.  I've been digging through the cobwebs of my memory and it seems to me that John is a clone of Henry at this age.  They even look alike.  I think we kicked Henry out of our room after a couple of weeks so we could sleep.  As it is right now, we grab him at the first squawk and try to rock him back into a quiet slumber.  If I remember correctly, we had to move Henry to his own room and found that he never really went into a full blown cry and would soothe himself back to sleep.  It was just a bit quieter through an oak door.
