The bedding for it was in Tennessee with another one of my aunts, so she shipped it to us-thanks Aunt Betsy!-and the crib was complete!
Jack is the fourth generation to nap in the crib, and we figure it's atleast eighty years old. I love thinking about my great grandma laying my grandma down for her naps in the same crib that I lay my first born in.

Grandma and I were just talking about it today. She has many fond memories of her aunts using it, using it with her six kids, and then her kids using it with her grandkids! We're so happy to be adding great-grandkids to that list!

That's so very special! Emory also slept in a cradle that was my grandfather's and has been passed down from his siblings, all of their children, all grandkids (which is 30 as of now!) and now great grandchildren. It's so neat to carry on those traditions.
I completely agree! I love the sentimental value!
