Our Baby Chair

It was more than just a chair to us.  This rocking chair holds so many memories over the past ten years.  We rocked all of our babies to sleep in it, feed them countless bottles, read hundreds of books, soothed them when they were upset, it supported them during mostly growth photo shoots, and became one of our biggest mementos from each of their babyhoods.  

It is bittersweet but it was time to pass it along to the next family who will love it just as much as we did.  Mairin is growing up so quickly and is ready for a big girl room.  Just in time for Darby and Bill to welcome it into their nursery.  To say that it was hard to pass along, is an understatement.  It was the first thing to go in Mairin's nursery which represents a new stage in our lives as we are truly finishing up our years with babies and moving into a new stage in life.  I have loved every minute of our babies but I am also looking forward to what life has to offer with three "big kids."  All change is hard as you close the door on one chapter of your life and enter a new one but I am thankful for every minute of it.

I will always cherish the memories associated with this chair and I am so happy that I can hand it to our family members and our new baby niece because I know they will love it just as much as we did.  Darby and Bill just won't ever be allowed to sell it off to strangers, haha.  It's theirs for good or I'll probably try to take it back from them when their babies are grown!

               

Mairin's big girl bed is on order and set to be delivered in July.  I plan to put another reading chair in her room once we have a better idea of the space when the bed is installed.  For now, she is loving her new reading nook.
