When Jacob was born, my dad made this beautiful cradle for him to sleep in. Jacob used it, Ellie used it, and now Emmy is using it. She is pretty active, so we had to drape a folded sheet under the mattress and over the sides because she kept getting her arms and legs caught between the bars on the sides. Unfortunately, now she is getting to the point where she is kicking her legs so much that she pulls the sheet in the cradle and still gets stuck. It is with great sadness that we are moving her to the pack 'n play this week. The cradle has been a fixture in our room for 4 1/2 years, so it will be sad to see it put in the attic. So long, old friend...you had a good run!

Ahhh...what a bittersweet moment. She looks so peaceful in there, it's hard to believe she's causing all that rucus, but it's amazing how much they move around. Will you hand it down to Katie or Andy for their kids?
