Crib Bedding

Pictures as promised!!

This is the boys room! I'm so excited to have two boys! Calvin is going to be the BEST big brother!

If you look close you can see Calvin's big boy bed and new bedding! My Mom knows how crazy I am about matching, so the comforter has the same orange as the quilt she made!

And since the boy's will be sharing a room for a while... I used the same olivey green as my inspiration...

And here is the crib! I know it's a little early to have this out, but I put it up for Gabe and we just left it up.

Rachel brought a pattern with her when she came and I used it for the fitted sheet and parts of the bumpers, but really you don't need a pattern. It was SO easy and a lot of fun!

A close up of the fabric colors. I was thinking of just doing solids, but Rachel helped me find these beautiful prints!

I LOVE the crib sheet! The sheets can and WILL be changed with a baby sleeping on it, but I am just going to buy some green and cream sheets at the store... anyone know where I can find nice jersey ones?

And here is the blanket that I crocheted... yes, Rachel did the impossible! She tried to teach me freshman year and I got so frusterated that I hadn't tried it since! But this time I stuck with it and I really like it! I can't wait to try more crochet projects!

And the pillow in the corner was mine as a baby! My Mom saved it for me!

There it is! Can't wait to wrap "Baby Brother" in his new blanket and lay him in his crib!

Baby things...

So, if you can remember last time we were expecting I went a little crazy...

with Calvin's room and colors. I wanted bright colors... and I wanted EVERYTHING to match! It all turned out great, but it was not easy and it really stressed me out... see, I went crazy! But, it was all worth it! I loved his crib bedding that my wonderful Mom made and I love his matching quilt and little yellow blanket! I love that it all coincidently matched the Orioles team colors :)

However, this time I decided to go the easy route... WHATEVER I WANT! No stress, no worries, just fun!

It really is fun to look at all the cute things out there and not worry about it "matching."

Check out this cute frog-shaped blanket!! What little kid wouldn't love this?!?

Okay, some things I am still picky about... like this bib that Calvin had from Carters. I wish I still had it. It was such a nice bib! It had white and khaki stripes on the front... with NO words and had the waterproof layer thing on the inside... perfect for teething drool! Anyway... Carters still sells them! Gonna have to get some!

And these bouncers are SOOO cute!

I was too picky to buy any crib bedding, so I made it... but, it was TONS of fun! Rachel helped me pick out the colors and fabric! Pictures to come soon!

Spring time!

The weather is getting warmer and Calvin and I couldn't be more excited! Nick texted me last week and told me it was 70 out... yes I had to be notified by text, because during the week we are usually inside... BUT... when I heard how nice it was we grabbed our lunch and headed outside!

All Calvin needed was a PB&J, a comfy Toy Story chair,

and a matching pair of Buzz Lightyear sunglasses!

Unfortunately, I asked him to take them off for a few pictures!

We enjoyed the nice weather and saw some squirrels and even a ground hog! And later that afternoon Aunt Linda came over with Cold Stone! Thanks Linda! We love you!
