When Dr. Frederick von Swingheimer invented the first swing in 1745, he was clearly on to something. When someone decided to make a swing for babies: pure genius. As new parents people have already given us a few "I can't believe the things they have now ...". We shouldn't kid ourselves though, if there had been swings like this, they would have been used.
It is safe to say that Carter has spent significantly more time in his swing than in the hand built crib his father made; and that's OK. Just look at how content he is to sit there and rock back and forth (even with the wrecking crew in the kitchen). Add the mobile and water sounds and he is out like a little light. We are so grateful to Dr. Tom and Kelly for getting this to us. If sleep were an activity that we still participated in, we would find a way to get one of these for ourselves.

We get sea-sick just watching him. He successfully hypnotized both of us... is he preparing for the perils of outer space?

Em, you know the OT/nerd in me loves the vestibular action ;) He looks so happy and warm! I need to meet him soon! Love, Aimee
OK, so the water noise makes me have to use the bathroom! (Or maybe that's just the little thing inside of me that's already pushing on my bladder!)
Carter is too cute in that swing! I'll have to make a mental note to add such a swing to our baby registry as well...
