Crabby Hour

So Rionn seems like the perfect child.  Well, maybe the perfect baby.  He ate.  He slept.  He never cried.  Smiled all the time.  Jet, well he has what I call crabby hour.  Or hours.  Seems like he just can't be settled from around 5pm to 8pm.  Of course that is when our house is at it's busiest.  If we're not at karate, then it's time to cook dinner, homework, etc.  So the last thing I need to do is walk Jet around outside.  Because that's the only way to get him calmed down.  So I decided instead of moving his swing in and out of the house all the time, I should get a swing.  Well they are expensive.  And well, I could make one. Pinterest is full of ideas.  So I made a swing.


But since he can't sit up and I don't want to leave him outside all lumped over, I made a bassinet swing.
I just followed the same pattern as the swing but changed it a little to make a bed.

And it works great.  He likes it enough to smile in it and sleep in it.  It might be the best baby item we have so far besides the milk defroster/food cooker/bottle sterilizer we got from a co worker of mine.


So now we're all happy.  Rionn won't go hungry.  I can get things done.  And Jet gets to be outside swinging.
