Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day!

Boy or Girl?

Yesterday I had my 18 week appointment and ultrasound. We found out our little one is going to be a boy. Joe and I are very excited. We both said if we could choose we would choose a boy. Even better, we learned the baby is doing well. He is healthy, active and weighs approximately 7 oz.

Playtime with Daddy

Repurpose Your Crib Bumpers!

I was reading one of my favorite magazines last night and I saw a great idea. The idea was to use the crib bumper as a valance for the window. You can do it several different ways. In the magazine she simply took out the stuffing and either removed or taped the bottom tie strings. Another way I saw was to leave the stuffing in and fold the bumper in half (to fit the window size) and use a few simply stitches to keep it straight. I thought this was such a great idea. We registered and received two crib bumpers for our girls. We even had them set up in their cribs before they arrived home from the hospital. Unfortunately I soon took them out before the girls even slept their first night in their cribs. The hospital had ingrained such a fear in my mind about having absolutely nothing in the crib except for the baby that I packed up the bumpers and ended up reselling them. I love this idea of using them as a window valance! This is a functional yet safe way to use the crib bumper in your nursery!

Check out this picture I found of a re purposed crib bumper for a boys room:

Talking!

Caught a cute video of the girls saying some of their favorite words like stinky, juice, daddy, cheese, hi and eye.

Tupperware Fun!

I did some rearranging in our kitchen so the girls would have a cabinet they could play in. They like to get in the pots and pans but those are so loud so I made them a tupperware cabinet. Let the fun begin. This is a video of them playing before breakfast on Saturday morning.

More Abby Walking

Abby has been doing really awesome with her walking! She is getting good at walking and holding things. Her current favorite is her pumpkin. She carries it around like a purse and loves filling it up with toys. Check out Abby and her pumpkin purse in this video. All I can say is adorable!
