Nesting

I have definitely felt the need to get the house prepared for baby girl. This has included shopping for last minute things, organizing clothes, cleaning out the fridge and freezer, etc. I am happy to say we have most of the important things done and are just about prepared to welcome baby girl into our family.

Two weeks ago a woman came and painted a mural for baby girl. She also painted her name above the changing table. I love it!! I will be sad to leave it behind when we move in a couple of years.

Here are some photos of the nursery and nesting efforts.....


While cleaning the fridge was on my list -- grocery shopping hasn't been. :)



Our generous neighbors have lent us all the clothes their 10 month old daughter has outgrown. The clothes hanging up are all 0-3 months. The 3 boxes below contain 3-9 month old outfits. Needless to say this girl won't be under dressed!

Victor painted the walls pink. It was a little shocking. I love the how the room turned out!

Name hint!!! As I said we had her name painted on the opposite wall. Although, her name will remain secret -- those who like to guess, may be happy to know there is an "n" in it somewhere. And no, it is not Gwen. :) Good luck!

X-rated Commentary

Erik has been fascinated with his penis for about 10 months now. I keep thinking it will get better as he gets older but the opposite seems to be true.

This week has been filled with funny, yet somewhat inappropriate, comments from Erik. Here is one from this morning....

This morning I was getting dressed while he was in the room. He pointed to my chest and said, "Mommy's penis!" I explained to him that no -- those were my breasts and that mommy's don't have penises. He took a step back seeming to still be searching for body parts only to ask, " Mommy's penis gone?"

Indoor Fun -- Rainy Days

I brought the pool toys inside much to his amusement. He loves the umbrella on his chair.




I asked Erik if he wanted to cook. He said yes -- when I asked what he wanted to make he said, "Cake!!"
Having a picnic at lunch! He loves this and has requested a picnic many times this week!
