Engage the infant by drawing attention to what is going on outside the window. Say, "See the bird in the tall, tall tree. See the red circle swing. See the green, green grass," to help settle the infant down. If you see birds, you may want to recite this poem:

See, see, see

Three birds in a tree.

One can chirp (Point to infant's thumb)
And one can sing (Point to baby's index finger).

One is just a tiny thing (Point to middle finger and then pretend to rock baby bird).

See, see, see

Three birds in a tree.
