NURSERY ARTWORK

I want another piece of travel artwork for above the changing table. I feel in love with this boy and airplane print from Jolinne months ago. But I ended up buying the wall decal below from Graphic Spaces. I decided it would be best to use a wall decal above the change table instead of a hanging picture and frame. That way we can avoid any body contact with the framed picture above our changing station.

OUR BOY'S GROWING BOOK COLLECTION

In a card I received from business colleagues I also received an Indigo Books + Gifts gift card. I was surprised to received a gift, but thrilled when I saw it was for Indigo. We have been slowly building up a library for our little man, but the gift card added 7 new books to our boy's collection! Here are all the books in his library we have so far.

I was really excited to find these books; This is London, This is New York, and This is Paris at Kol Kid here in Toronto on Queen Street.  London, New York, and Paris are three major cities N8 and I have travelled to together. The books are such a fit with our nursery travel theme and the art we found at IKEA. Hope our boy likes them too.

SHOWERED WITH LOVE

Everyday I feel blessed to have the friends and family that we do. N8 and I decided not to have a baby shower prior to our boy's birth because it felt strange to us to have one without him there. Regardless we have still been showered with love from all and here are a few gifts we have received for our boy. 

Burt's Bees "Baby Bee" gift basket from some of my clients at work. 

Slippers my boss brought back from her vacation to China. 

Playful volume soother from a business colleague and friend. Appropriate for this musically inclined household :)

Pillow stitched and gifted from our friends J-hi + Erwin. 

Stuffed animals I found at Hallmark.

OUR BOY'S NURSERY ROOM

Yesterday we spent time re-organizing parts of our place to make room for items we used to store in our spare/second bedroom. The house cleansing is coming along and now our boy's nursery room is almost complete! 

DEADLY OUTFITS FOR OUR BOY!

Our friends who live on the West Coast sent us a package and inside were the coolest outfits for our boy. I absolutely can not wait to dress our boy in these outfits and take pictures, the shark prints are really cool! Our friends are pregnant as well, two weeks ahead so we are both really excited to have kids the same age and share the experience. We can't wait for our kids to meet..

OUR GRACO CAR SEAT

When we purchased our UPPAbaby stroller there were four brands of car seats that UPPAbaby sells adapters for and Graco was one of them. With limiting our search to specific brands, and light-weight if possible, the Graco SnugRide Click Connect 35 in the Brompton design ended up being the car seat for us.
