max's nursery...

it took 8 months for me to finally post a few photos of the nursery. it's finally complete and i really like the final look. the room is very relaxing and i love sitting in the chair with or without the baby.... for a little mommy timeout!

my favorite relaxing spot

cute artwork

 

changing table & baskets for baby necessities

overall, i love, love, love this room. honestly the photos don't do it justice. the light blue and white are so relaxing. ahhhhhhhhhhhh.....

photo of the day... mini-me

earlier in the summer we spent a week at a lake cottage in michigan. one morning, reilly morphed into a little mommy.... more precisely her mommy. wow does she have me down! sitting indian style (or "like a pretzel" in the pc world), hair in a towel and a nice, hot cup of coffee. the only difference is... i usually don't smile that early!

btw... she's not actually drinking coffee.... it's juice. i may be a crazy mommy, but i'm not insane :)

totally mobile... now i'm totally screwed!

please notice what he does with his right leg.
ya, i don't understand it either. (7 months old)
