My husband amazes me. Last October when I was pregnant with Danika, we went to BabiesRUs to look at cribs...and Doug just looked at me and said, "I can build that." I thought he was joking for a second, and then realized he wasn't. He looked at the cribs on display, I got him a picture of one of my favorites and he went to work. It has been so fun to see him working away out in the garage on this beautiful gift for our daughter.
So....here we are. This weekend was the great final assembly of the crib. The timing is actually perfect. Danika is so tiny that it was only 2 months ago we took her out of the bassinet in our bedroom. For the last two months she has been sleeping in a PackNPlay in the living room. She made that adjustment well, and we are finally ready to move her upstairs to her own room. I helped him carry the pieces up the stairs to Danika's nursery (which thus far has only been used for storage) and he put it together. It is BEAUTIFUL! He did such a great job!!!! It looks exactly like the picture...and it is even more fun because he built it himself just for her. I just thought you might like to see it!
This is Doug working trying to assemble the final project.
It is possible that my picture taking, the cat sitting in the chair, and Danika crawling under his hands were slowing him down just a bit. :)
I wanted to get some pictures without any bedding so you could see all the detail in the crib.
I love it!
