Bye Bye Cradle

We visited with Anissa's friend, Judy on Saturday. Her father hand-built the cradle that Kate slept in for the first 3 months. Since Kate is pulling herself up now, we gave her the chance to say "goodbye".

Judy's son, LB, was the original recipient of the cradle. He was so kind to share with Kate, and we all appreciate all of the kindness that LB and his family have shown ours.

We are finally up and running on a blog! You can still visit our old update from July and prior at www.geocities.com/anissak . We've posted July and August as if we were organized enough to do it day by day (we're not). Beginning in September, we'll try to post at least once per week.

Kate certainly likes to be swaddled to sleep at night, but she's gotten good at "escaping" from her swaddling blanket. Tim has threatened the use of duct tape, but for now "double swaddling" seems to work like a charm. Too bad it's 90 degrees!

We had begun the transition to the crib too. Kate is taking naps in her crib, so her days in the cradle may be numbered.
