Swings and Blankets

Before Baby B was born, a girlfriend asked me if I had wanted to borrow her infant swing while she didn't need it. After a month of storing it in B's closet and having very little space, I decided to give it back. Then the time came when little B didn't want to do anything but scream and we couldn't appease her. I talked to another friend about this and they asked, "How does the swing calm her?"

"Swing?" I said. "What swing? Oh, yes, the swing". Immediately I called my friend back who had orginally loaned me the swing and asked for it back. Maybe I had made too quick a decision to rid my house of it and it's necessity. Little B loves the swing and sometimes it is the only thing she wants. On this amazing piece of technology is a rotating mobile of birds and leaves which originally I would not turn on. One day I did and you can see the amazement and excitement on Brinnon's face. You can almost just hear the squeals, ooooooh's and aaaaaah's, if you look at her expressions long enough.

Brinnon also has become a fan of blankies. Her two favorites are ones that Sarah made her and a gray and white stripped blankie that Brit gave her. Here she is 'eating' the one Sarah made her!
