I think this whole blog thing should be credited to little Lucy. I find myself, (as probably most new parents do), wanting to document important days/events in her/our lives so that we can share them one day in the future.
Today, while Kindee was downstairs throwing a load of wash in, I decided to snap a few pictures of Lucy in her little swing. This little pink sanctuary is actually the only place we have discovered she will sleep at night. For whatever reason, the rocking side-to-side motion helps her feel like she can close her eyes and drift off into baby paradise :)
Of course, there are hundreds of swings available online to choose from, so we did as much research as we could to find one that would be the best fit. Kindee and I had fun reminiscing of when we could remember winding up our younger siblings in those old hand-crank swings. Those old swings were for sure full of plastics that would probably be illegal even in Mexico, but hey, they sure had some giddy-up!
I can remember pushing my younger siblings in these swings. Being the "boy" that I was... I would wonder why they couldn't go higher or faster? No doubt, I was responsible for the over-cranking of any swing we owned just to see how high and fast it would really go. Of course, now as a more mature adult, I never do that :)
To see the rest of the pictures of Lucy in her Fisher Price swing, here is the link to all of the photos from this morning. Enjoy! http://russdixon.smugmug.com/gallery/7536025_9SgUT
