Tribute to Jonah

This is my favorite picture of Jonah so far. My friend Claire made him and the new baby matching bow ties which I totally love. Jonah wore it for the first time to church and I thought he looked so cute, so I took a picture. He actually smiled for it too.

I decided to dedicate this post to Jonah, since this will be his last moment in the spotlight before he has to share it with his little brother.

This picture is right after we got him a toddler bed and brought it home. He loved it so much he decided to pile all of his stuffed animals on it and bury himself in them.

We weren't planning on switching him over to a toddler bed just yet, but when it was time for bed he hopped in his toddler bed and put the blanket on himself and was ready to go to sleep.
This was after he went to sleep in the bed. Later on he ended up falling out of his bed. We heard a thud and went in his room to find him curled up on the floor. Later he started being scared to sleep in his toddler bed, se now he's back in his crib.


This video is so cute. It shows how Jonah treats his stuffed animals and dolls like they are his friends. He carries them around the house, puts them at the breakfast table and in chairs. This time he had one of my old dolls and put her on the piano bench, so she could play the piano with him. I love how nurturing and sweet my little boy is. He's not afraid to play with dolls either.

Nesting

I know a lot of my fans out there have wondered where in the world I have been. Well I've been busy nesting for my little boy coming on May 21st--unless he gets here a little early like Jonah did.

This is what I've been working on. I'm proud of my latest work. I made all new bedding for Jonah and his brother's room.






I also worked on the guest bedroom. Here's the before.



Here's the after



I am mostly proud of how much money I saved--especially on the guest room make-over. I used part of an old duvet cover and just added the black and burgandy fabric. Then I made the curtains and the art above the bed.
