Recently we learned that Ally's crib was recalled. Turns out it had been part of a recall from a while back, but we just learned about it and figured the responsible thing was to take the rebate and put it towards a new crib. Ally as you know loves her crib. Loves pretty much any crib - as long as she can hold on and jump and have her private time to sing and talk she is a pretty happy girl. So no big girl bed yet, just a new crib. But its a fancy new crib that has a special rail to transition to a toddler bed we she is ready for that.
We hosted our Guatemalan Girls group this weekend, lots of fun with Gabi, Roxie and Alice. Alice and Ally played in the crib together. It was like a going away party for the crib.
Gotta love the morning hair!
This morning I took pictures to commemorate the occasion. It was the last morning for Ally's old crib. "Ally's old crib is broken" that is what we told Ally and what she now says quite often. Becky and I were pretty attached to this crib. We bought it during a fairly hopeful time in our adoption process. Ally was only about 6 weeks old - we got the crib on super-clearance. It was only $50.00 new at T. R Us (the new one with the fancy rail is about 5 times that!). It was such a good deal, and even though we knew we shouldn't have bought a crib that early we did, and it lived in the basement until right before I left for Guatemala with my mom to pick Ally up and bring her home. Ally has slept in that crib every night she has been in our house. But what can you do - a recall is a recall so today Becky took it apart and assembled the new crib. Below is a picture of the new crib!
P.S. while Becky assembled the crib Ally and I worked hard on potty training. More to come on that in the next post!

It's so difficult when a product has been recalled but think you made a good decision. She is so adorable and I know you are enjoying each and every moment.
