FINALLY! *edit – need some opinions!*

After months of enduring sore and swollen gums, and fussing and biting and all of that…..

Noah’s finally got a tooth coming through! There’s one spot where we’ve been able to feel a sharp point for awhile now, but I noticed another one a couple of days ago and then today, I can just see a tooth starting to poke through!

Didn’t feel like starting a whole new entry for this….

So it’s finally time to buy Mr. Noah a crib, but we can’t agree on one. We had to run to Target today, and they had this one that I liked:

But Jake didn’t like it because it doesn’t look "finished"….well, duh, it’s done in a natural finish!

Then I showed him this one, and the man had no opinion and said it was up to me!

Now, that one’s only available in "some" stores, so obviously if I can’t find it around here, I’ll go with the first one, but if I can find it, I just don’t know. I mean, if he really wanted to, we could take that first one, sand it down, and finish it ourselves.

One question I do have. They’re both convertible cribs. For anyone that’s done this already, when you convert to using it as a full sized headboard, you don’t HAVE to use the other rail as a footboard, do you? The first one only shows the back rail being used as a headboard, but the second one, using the front rail as a footboard looks stupid and I’m not really a fan of footboards anyway. I wouldn’t think you’d have to use it, since it’d still have to be attached to the frame and all, but sometimes you just never know with these things!

They both have drop sides, which is important to my short self. I like the classic look of the first one, but I also do like the stain on the second, and I like the drawer, too, though that’s certainly not a necessity. The first is $20 cheaper, which would cover about half the cost of a mattress.

Ooh, that’s another question. What mattress do you have, and what do you think of it? I’m looking at getting the Sealy Baby Ortho Rest.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any input!
