The Lion and Elephant of the swing

The swing has been our best friend in the past months. The girls love it and always enjoy riding it. They were about 2-3 months old when we asked to borrow their cousin TY's swing. It was because I was having trouble taking care and holding two crying babies at the same time. I figured if they liked it, at least one of them would be calm and sleepy swinging to her dream land while I could take care of the other one.

They always fell in asleep in the swing for the first month. There were a lion and an elephant attached to swing. They didn't care much about them. They would always stare at this yellow local on the swing and fell in asleep.

As time went on, they started to notice the animals. They looked at them as they swing and swing. They had no interest of touching and reaching out to the toys. They eventually fell in asleep again. Sometimes, it was the only way that HY would stop crying by sitting in the swing.

We stopped using the swing for a while when the girls had flat heads. We focused on the exer-saucers which their heads were not being pressured at all.

They knew how to play with toys and they played on the floor sitting up. We took off the lion and elephant from the swing for them to play. HY somehow found herself in the swing again lately because she was not napping while sister was napping. I put the two animals back onto the swing. Now, HY quickly reached out and touched the animals, then, grabbed and pulled them off. At first she would take one off at a time. She got so good at it now she used both hands and hanged onto the animals and then snapped them off at the same time.

EY didn't play with the swing much cuz she was able to nap when I put her down. Wonder whether she liked to pull off the animals like sister did.
