I mentioned in the post just before this one that one of my FAVORITE baby accessories is a swing that we were given by one of my friends. It is like a duplicate of me... only it runs on batteries and is NOT me nor will it replace me, but it allows me to get things done when Peyton is wide awake and wants to be held.
.... Well, Dave recently (as in, last night) found his FAVORITE baby accessory which, like the swing, was given to us by my friend Lara and it allows him/us to get things done when Peyton is wide awake.
His nifty accessory is a front seated baby carrier:
Dad, excited

Peyton relaxing

both are happy

This has actually been a life saver for Dave (and me) because when he is pulling his all nighters for school and Peyton is awake at 3 AM and I don't want to stay awake with her he just straps her in. His hands are free, Peyton sleeps, mommy sleeps and Dave get's things done. The best part about all of this, for me, is Dave brought her in ONCE last night to be fed between midnight and 6 AM. After I fed her Dave took her back- burped her, changed her and put her to sleep. I am one lucky lady!
Looks like he has found a way to bond and get stuff done too! Very fun! Save this and show it to Peyton when she is older.
