Rock-A-Bye

For some reason, I have always loved cradles. I never slept in one as an infant and neither did my sister so who knows where this love of cradles comes from...all I know is that I wanted to have one for Stafford. After MUCH researching, I found one that I loved but there was one small problem...it was $500!! I knew I didn't want to spend that much on a cradle, especially since Stafford can only sleep in it for about 3 months so I decided to keep looking...and I found one! Thanks to Google, I found this precious Da Vinci Chloe cradle (in espresso) that was affordable and had the look that I wanted. A lot of stores actually carried this cradle so it was nice to be able to do some price comparisons and get it as cheaply as possible. Many thanks go to our sweet friends and family that gave us gift cards at my showers because we were able to purchase it...THANK YOU EVERYONE! I decided to order it from Target (today, actually) and it should be arriving next week. Just in time to get it all put together and set up in our bedroom since Stafford will be here in FOUR WEEKS/28 days/SOON!! I bought the bedding back in May and I purchased a new, thicker (2 inches) cradle mattress to put in it as well. Below is a picture...what do y'all think?!!
