Money well spent

You may recall from an earlier post that we splurged on a fancy baby rocker contraption called the Mamaroo. Andy was very excited about this man toy...er...baby soothing device ;)...in all it's high tech glory. I insisted we keep the tags on it in case Antonia didn't like it. Well, we tried it several times since she was born and got the same reaction- the loud, bloody murder cry- each time. Each time that is, until earlier this week when in a bold move, we decided to put Antonia down in the Mamaroo while she was crying. We turned on the "ocean wave" rocking motion with some cricket noises and what do you know, she stopped crying! This morning I put her down happy but tired and got the following picture of the results. It turns out this was money well spent after all! :)
