Sophia doesn’t put every thing in her mouth like most babies do. She never took to pacifiers and isn’t into teething rings. Usually she mouths her stuffed animals, ‘friend’, cold washcloths, my house keys, the jewel cases to our CD collection, and that’s about it. The teeth marks on her old crib were from the previous owner, but now that we have the new crib, it’s a giant, $145, teething ring.
Someone told Kurt about crib rail guards, so we bought some. We should have just saved that ten dollars. When Sophia has sat in her crib long enough (three seconds), she pulls off the rail guard and beats the crib with it. Then proceeds to chew on both.
Your crib looks a lot like mine, except the cats ruined our crib – not the baby.
You know, I tried to be practical when buying things for Sophia. I didn’t get her expensive things… I got her the $1.50 clearanced Peep. But you spend a hundred times that on a teething ring. I don’t even know you anymore.

Thank you for this posting this. I just received a catalog from the ever money consuming Babies R Us, and I got sucked into the furniture page. Damn furniture with it’s matchy-matchy prettiness. I felt the practical side of me go away to thoughts of “the kid could have real furniture” and “the crib converts…how perfect!” and then….
Your post. Thank you Erica; you’ve saved me from the industry. I’m so ashamed I think I’ll have to blog about it.
