For the past two afternoons, Lucy has wanted to be fussy. Maybe it's her tummy, maybe she just wants to be held, but if you leave her in her crib, she just cries until you come and get her! On Sunday afternoon, when she just couldn't be consoled, I sat her in her swing and turned it on. Previous experiences with the swing have ended in tears because it moved so quickly. However, now that she has packed on a few pounds (She was 7 lbs, 10 oz at the doctor's on Friday!), it moves slower and she really seems to enjoy it.
She likes the movement and it relaxes her so that she can rest . . .and so that Mom and Dad can have a few minutes to fix dinner, or do laundry . . . you know, all those things that get in the way of playing with Lucy!Hopefully, this won't be an every afternoon experience. . . but it's nice to know there is something that will soothe her. :)Other than our fussy moments, she is doing so well. Everything looked good at the doctor's office. She is much more alert these days and we have had lots of play time. (Although play time is not always during the day!) She is sleeping four and five hour stretches at night and so Mom and Dad are able to get a little rest.
Hopefully this week, we will be able to take her to get one month old pictures. We went to Olan Mills last Thursday, but have nothing to show for it. It is a long story, but I will just tell you that we will not be going there again! It was not a good experience!! Maybe we'll try Walmart . . . .any one know any other options in the Hendersonville/Asheville area?
