Fan-tastic Babysitter

Recently we've become aware of an amazing pacifier known as the ceiling fan.  This fan is so amazing that Ava will sit for hours (literally) staring at it in utter silence.  We first found this out when lying Ava on the bed during a clothing change.  She immediately noticed the color contrast and was transfixed.  In fact, when attempting to walk with her out of the room she turned her head to follow the fan.  Keep in mind though that the fan is not in motion.  It actually irritates her to turn it on.  She prefers to simply stare at the non moving blades.  This is so wonderful that Emily was able to shower, blow dry her hair, do a load of laundry, pick up the upstairs and undress Ava for a bath all while Ava stared at the fan.  We were even able to cut Chris' hair while the fan babysat Ava.  This has gone on for several days and seems to be a great compromise to a mobile.  Heck, who needs a mobile when you have one built in to every room.  We've even placed her pack-n-play under the fan in the livingroom.  Now if only the fan could change diapers, breastfeed and burp we'd be set!

Oh, and more pics to come soon...
