Yesterday we got ourselves a rocking chair. We have always talked about getting one, but it's kind of a big thing to buy (in size and cost) and we weren't sure if BB would dig it. The other day I was flipping through the paper and saw an ad for Replica Eames Rocker, on sale. I have always coveted these chairs but at the moment an original is out of our budget. We decided to go and check out this fakey. BB seemed to like it. I felt a little bit guilty for getting a replica, but what is one to do? Is it as bad as buying a fake handbag? I hope not.

The chair has been a huge success. To get BB to sleep in the evening we used to have to carry her over our shoulder and walk around the flat. This has resulted in back pain for both of us, which isn't so cool. The last couple of nights PB has read her a couple of stories in the rocker and then put her over his shoulder and rocked her to sleep in less than 10 minutes. Success!

I was also inspired to take a monthly portrait of BB in her Eames Rocker by the lovely Captain KK. Unfortunately our space is too small to actually get the whole thing in, and I was too lazy to move the table out of the way. I'm thinking of this as a practice run for next month, which will hopefully be better.

I did manage to get this picture though, which I didn't even notice until PB pointed out that BB is flashing us the peace sign. Peace BB!

PS. BB's very cool apple jumper is by Beci Orpin's Tiny Mammoth. I bought it online at my favourite kids clothes store, Little Pinwheel. They are having a sale at the moment so go check them out!
