I will never forget the first time I saw this crib. My Mom and Dad were constantly asking me if I had decided what I wanted for Christmas? I am never the one to really have a "list" of things I want...I am just "easy" and happy with whatever I get.
But this one special Christmas...I had a special request. It was Thanksgiving holiday and Tyler and I were over at my parents house. I had printed out the picture of the crib off of the website and folded it up before coming over to their house. So, while we were sitting around talking and watching TV...I told my Mom that I had found what I wanted for Christmas. I handed the folded sheet of paper to her. As she opened it, the look on her face was priceless! She was very confused at first, but then with this surprised face she says "Is this a crib? Are you pregnant?!" So...needless to say, this crib holds alot of memories! This crib is how I told my Mom and Dad that I was going to be a Mommy and they were going to be Grandparents!
I was so nervous putting Alexis in her crib for the first time! She was just SO tiny in it! I remember just constantly checking on her for like the first two weeks to make sure she was okay in it! She did great in it and was a great sleeper! When she was big enough to stand up...she would chew on the top bar of it. Tyler had to put a piece of rubber barrier over it so she wouldnt break her little teeth off!
I was sad to "store" the crib once Alexis was old enough for her big girl bed, but I knew that someday soon there would be another little one that would put it back to good use!
Then came Lily! She was even smaller in it than Alexis! She really made me nervous being so tiny, but just like Alexis, she did great also! She was a great sleeper in it too! Needless to say, the crib had alot more "tough times" with Lily than with Alexis. There were several times I walked in and found poop accidents all over the poor crib with Lily! :) Lily never chewed on the bars though like Alexis did! So...I dont know which the poor crib liked better!?.....the pooping or chewing queens? :)
Today marked the day that the crib is no longer with us. :( My girls are now too big for the crib and since the baby department is done, we dont need it anymore. Even if it was just a crib...it brought so many happy and special memories for me!
Happy Monday from Lily!
I just had to post Alexis in the same cute t~shirt! Lily is 24 months {above} and Alexis {below} was 26 months old wearing it! :)
