What are your thoughts on the safety of having blankets and such in the crib? AT and I didn't follow <a href="http://blogs.consumerreports.org/baby/2007/11/can-you-put-a-b.html" rel="nofollow">the hard line position</a>, but we did remove the bumper, blanket and toys once she was able to move around in the crib, and didn't put stuff back until about 1 year. *checks Flickr account to make sure this is at least arguably true* Yes sir, 1 year.

This is a very, very sweet post, Erik. I am startled to suddenly realize how soon Nora will be joining us on the outside. (But I'll bet I'm not as startled as you and Marga are.) Burlap. Hahahahahahaha, Paul.

That blanket even appears soft, and the crib looks lovely. I can't quite categorize the giraffe's expression though - is that bemusement? Very nice!
