Baby's first bed...

After the painting adventure, we started thinking about furniture for the room. We already have 4 (yes 4) rocking chairs in the room, two for us, and two smaller ones that can be used for Baby Dakin or for stuffed animals. We started looking at cribs with the assistance of Mom Dakin, who purchased the crib for the little one. We ended up picking out a Graco from Wal-Mart that we absolutely love!

(It now has a mattress as well.)

We have also been blessed with a cradle that will actually be Baby Dakin's first bed.

This was built by Janet's great-grandfather, the baby's great-great grandfather and has been used by all of Janet's siblings and herself and will now be used by our child. Right now it sits in the nursery but will soon make its home in our bedroom next to Janet's side of the bed.
