Just a Swingin'




OK, this is my first time trying to post a video... so bear with me! (BTW, thanks so much Katie for helping me figure it all out!)
Soooo.... as some of you know, the papasan swing was an absolute lifesaver for us for almost 6 months. Ashley loved her swing from day one, (well, literally day four, but who's counting...). We decided to put her in it in front of the window when she came home from the hospital b/c she was still jaundiced. Well, from then on she was hooked!
She always slept great at night in her crib, but would refuse to take her naps there. So, starting at about 2.5 mo. till almost 6 mo. she took every single nap in her swing! Yes, we went through many, many batteries... but the child slept- and as any parent will testify, that is worth it's weight in gold!
Well, one day in January, she decided she was done with the swing and wanted to sleep in her crib. Since then I don't think the swing has even been used. We even moved it out of the living room and into our room.
Fast forward to this week...
She has figured out that she can crawl from room to room and "check things out". She loves it! So, on Tuesday, while crawlong around our room, she discovered her swing again. She kept standing there and looking at me... so, I put her in it. Well, she LOVED it!! It cracked me up.... the poor swing was creaking from her weight (she is under the weight limit still) but she was priceless. She was looking from the mobile to the mirror to the toys on the toy bar... it was fabulous entertainment!
Well, since then, she has "found" her swing every day and "asked" to take a ride in it!
Too funny!
Poor girl, what is she going to do when she is too big for the thing??
