The End of the Swing Era....

Our little turkey is now too big and strong for our coveted swing.   This was one of the top 5 gifts we received at the Baby Shower and its proved to be probably the most useful (next to the bottle warmer!).   Kayla LOVES her swing and has gotten so used to falling asleep in it that she rarely napped in the crib - especially the past two months with all her congestion.  In the past few weeks, we realized that we REALLY needed to transition her out of the swing and while our "drop dead" date was to be May 1st... the other day I walked in to find her "hanging" from the mobile... all the while being strapped in!  She looked at me and laughed... This photo below was taken shortly after that laugh... After the picture, Kayla played on the floor of her bedroom while I disassembled and packed up the swing!  So far, napping in the crib has not been a very big success ... Thank GOD we always put her in the crib for nighttime bedtime!  This is truly the end of an era!
