Traditions

Jeff's aunt Tina let us borrow this bassinet before Serif was born. she said that when she was a little girl she wanted a crib for her baby dolls so bad. her mom couldn't find one specifically for baby dolls, so she splurged and bought a real one for her. as years passed on this bassinet has held many babies, including Jeff and his brother Don. so the tradition was passed down and Serif was able to enjoy the same little sleeping quarters as his dad and many other family members. the blue and white blanket was made by another one of Jeff's aunts and given to his mom when Jeff's brother Don was born. both Don and Jeff were brought home from the hospital in this blanket. so here are a couple of photos full of tradition and memories.
now the truth of the matter is that Serif never really enjoyed sleeping on his back for the first few weeks and honestly never really used the bassinet. i couldn't bare handing it back to aunt Tina without him getting atleast one nap in it . . . and of course a photo too. so here he is napping at 7 weeks. Helmut (9) is once again checking up on him and seeing what he's up to.
