On My Must Get List

How sweet are these?? I'm going to get them for the kiddos. They do a tshirt for the Big Bro and I thought C could wear it to the hospital to meet little brother.:)

Kitchen Krazy

Linz lent this little kitchen to Christian and its adorable and he loves it....but...I got the genius idea to put batteries in it. They make the "stovetop" sizzle. It's like this low hissing white noise that makes me go insane. Christian apparently knows this, turns it on and then leaves the room. I even asked him today if he knew that noise makes Mommy want to rip her hair out. His reply, " yeah Mama!" Then he laughed and pulled on his hair! Wow.

Decorating Extravaganza

----On My Wish List----

Master Bed & Bath-

From oaxacaborn.wordpress.com

• Tie backs for curtains: We have needed these forever.  Its just one of those things you put off doing and then two years later you are still laying the curtains over the side of the chairs to keep them open.  
• Two pillows for our side chairs: I like these bright ones in a damask print. 
• Update yellow flower arrangement
• Wall decal for over tub: I want something fun to put over the space where our master tub is. 

Office-

• Material for curtains- The color of the walls in the office is a sunshine yellowish color.  Its darker than the yellow above so I'm hoping to find some material that matches.  The office is getting a daybed and we are removing one of the two desks to make it more of a half guest bedroom/ half office.  It is one of the brightest rooms in the house so it needs curtains before anyone sleeps in there.  

Living Room-

• New throw pillows- I like the one I posted yesterday and I'm still on the lookout for a couple of white ones. The one above is from amazon.  I want something that will add some texture but still be machine washable.  
• Blue accents for bookcase- Not sure what yet, but maybe a few vases or picture frames.   
• Bins for toys in bookcase- White bins from Ikea to hold and HIDE Christians toys.

Kitchen- 

• New red & white print coffee mugs
• New centerpiece for table
• New tablecloth  

Front Porch-

• Door mat
• Some sort of decoration for front porch

Most of this has been on the to-do list since we moved in. :)

Almost.....30!

So its almost here.  The big 3-0.  I've gone back and forth trying to figure out what I want for my birthday.  Chris has asked me so many times...Its hard when you can't really fit into anything because I almost always want clothes, or a purse or jewelry.  None of those will work this year.  Too big for clothes, too depressing to buy maternity clothes, I have to carry a diaper bag, so no use for a purse and I don't end up wearing too much jewelry right now...SO what to ask for??? Did I mention I'm turning 30???! I imagined myself laying in a pool in Las Vegas with a mojito!  Oh so sad....

After some serious internet searching, think I finally figured it out.  Home decorating stuff! I love to decorate.  I've been wanting to finish up the last projects at my house since before Christian was born and what better time to do in than when I will be spending A LOT of time in my house once baby #2 arrives.  ( I have a feeling me and these walls are going to be very good friends) I know it would make me very happy to see my bedroom done, and my pantry finished and it would be a good time to get it done before baby arrives.

I've put together a list of the things I want to find and make so if you'd like to donate... :) haha!  I'll share here what I get and what my ideas are.  A few before and after pictures too.  I'm so excited!

Love, Nicole (still 29 for now!)

A Few New Pictures

Here are some new pictures of Christian.  We got a few when Chris' mom was here visiting, although I think we were having too much fun to get many :)  I'll look through them soon and try to get them posted. 

We went downtown and rode the trolley, went to Jekyll Island and played in the ocean, and ate lots of wonderful food prepared by Myriam. 

It was too short of a visit, can't wait for you to come back Myriam!

Christian and I floating at Jekyll Island

Doesn't this look like an old time bathing suit?

This child could not have more hair

Running in the square downtown.

Yum, dum dum suckers!

I can't remember what was going on here! Pj's and my hat...

Naked time

How sweet is he? Love his little cheeks

Eating pretzels and wearing dad's hat

He was much more interested in the pretzels than the pool

On the trolley- look at my gigantic 20 week stomach!

These are so out of order :)

Each wearing a work shoe, they were taking a lap around the house! Practicing for future father son races I guess :)

Ha ha! How cute are they? They match too!
