Growing Too Quickly

Well our little girl made the leap yesterday from the bassinette to the cot. And not before time, too, because she was almost at the point where her head & foot were touching the ends of the bassinette. This is such a treasured bassinette. It belongs to my Aunty Christine and has housed quite a few of my cousins, and even my cousins' children as well. And yet, it is still in good nick, as Aunty Chris has cared for it well over the years.

Lachlan (in 1998), Harrison (in 2000) & now Bethany have all slept in it. But the some has come (the walrus said)... and Bethany sleeps in the Bassinette no more. We'll clean it and get it ready now for Nathanael & Leonie's new baby.

So here are some pics of little Bethany in her new cot. Well, as you'll note, the cot is not new, nor even near new. For it is the same, trusty cot that Lach slept in, and then Harry slept in. And while it's looking more than a little rustic - I couldn't bear to paint over Lach & Harry's teeth marks. And the blessed green paint that was Lach's first artistic effort!

Enjoy the pics...

The work of Lach's teeth...



Harry's teeth (not to be outdone)..


Looks like the cot gets the thumbs up from Bethany...



Love that smile...


Shhh... don't wake her...
