Congratulations! Can't help with the plans, though. Sorry.

Are we building a dinghy, a dory, a Cruiser, a Yatch, a Schooner, a Cutlass, or a Battleship?

There are free plans online just name the boat type and search for Example: http://www.spirainternational.com/hp_frpl.html
Now obviously these are full size, so you'd have to reduce them down to fit the grandchild.

Others are scale model and have to be upsized: http://www.bestscalemodels.com/schooner.html

Can't help w/ the boat crib but here's an idea for a rocker. Made this way many years ago when my oldest was an infant.

Oh, the ideas abound. You could easily make a rocker like the one phinds showed and modify the design slightly to have portholes in solid walls instead of slats, an angled keel and a strong prow with a mermaid carved in it or something like that. Oh, my imagination is running wild!
