crib (what do you know, it's called The Sparrow)

i'm back and promise to keep up with the blogging. our friends have been ridiculous and sent us the most amazing baby clothes in the world - so i shall update soon with a post of the AshmanLisAshman baby fashion. until then, WE GOT OUR CRIB!!!

after months and months of researching (Gen) all of the crib safety issues, we narrowed in on organic. organic = expensive. but all of the modern cribs that you buy in stores are made up with glue full of formaldehyde. CA is the only smarty smart state that even talks about the toxins in cribs. it's nuts! needless to say, we have been scouring Craig's List trying to find a good organic crib or a non-organic crib that is old enough so that the toxins are gassed off but still safe enough for today's standards.

this morning i stumbled upon heaven. the Oeuf crib (my dream come true) usually costs $1,000 or more. i found it on Craig's List in excellent condition this morning for $230. so, we are heading to Manhattan this Sunday to pick it up. perfect timing to say hi to Linder & Kate anyhow.
