Love

I love this little face.  It makes my day, every single day.

Zoom, Zoom to a New Room

Several weeks ago I decided that I wanted to update Graham's room.  When I was pregnant and putting his room together, I definitely made a big effort not to make it too babyish, and while the decor was still fine, I wanted to do something that I felt fit him and his personality.  So what did I choose to do?  A car-themed room!  Anyone who knows our little man, knows that he LOVES cars and trucks.  I decided I was going to repaint the room and add my own mural on the back wall.  I wanted the mural to look somewhat kiddish - not too professional or fancy looking, which ended up working perfectly with my painting skill level.  I also found an awesome rug and a new rocking chair (we never got a rocking chair, we just used an old office swivel chair, which just wasn't cutting it anymore) at IKEA and new sheets (on which the room was based) at Pottery Barn Kids.  I printed out and colored some pictures online to help complete the artwork on the wall.  The only thing missing is the red curtains (which my mom is shortening) and transportation-themed knobs that I ordered from Etsy.  I am pretty happy with how it all turned out.  Here are some pictures of them almost finished product:

Cracking Up - The Sequel

Here is Graham completely cracking up.  Who knew a laser pointer (for the cats) could be so hysterical?  This is the sequel, to remind yourself of the original, go to this post.

Sick Day

Our little man has been under the weather for the past week.  It started off with a cold and cough (which I figured he'd gotten from me).  He had a rough night Wednesday night and early Thursday morning - waking up, unable to get settled.  I decided I wanted to stay home with him and give him a day of TLC.  Thursday night and Friday morning were not much better.  That combined with the fact that he wasn't eating much, led me to believe that something was up - probably and ear infection.  We brought him into the doctor Friday morning and sure enough, an ear infection.  Luckily we caught it early, so he is now on the mend.
Here's a picture of us at the grocery store, waiting for his perscription to be ready and picking up a few snacks for him over the next couple of days.  What a trooper!
