Another First: It’s Swing Time!

We’ve been wanting to buy Mabel a swing for several months now but my husband decided to act on it this past weekend without telling me.  The main problem that delayed us from buying one earlier is that even though we have a lot of trees in the backyard, none are suitable to hang a swing from.  🙁  So my husband’s solution was to buy an inexpensive a-frame from a play-set and then hook a baby swing up to it.  I guess he could have made an a-frame himself to save a little bit of money but he went with the quicker, instant payoff option, ha!

This was her first time ever in an outside swing:

She wasn’t quite sure why we were strapping her into this new contraption at first…

She soon forgot her skepticism…

She is such a Daddy’s girl…

And then she of course had to ham it up for the camera.  🙂

And this was her biggest smile of the day (the super happy, toothy grin!)…

Mabel’s first time on her swing was a success and those giant smiles were priceless.  We’ll be outside a lot this summer and this swing will get a lot of use…so it was a great purchase!  I have to thank my husband for taking the initiative to buy the swing without telling me.  😉

*And in case you’re curious, the swing in the photos is the Step2 Infant to Toddler Swing.

With the weather finally warming up…do you have any awesome outside toy/activity suggestions?  Please share!  🙂
