Gracie's Room

I've been meaning to post pictures of Gracie's new room, and since Andrew and I are up anyway while the rest of the fam is asleep, I thought I'd post them now! Here is the crib we borrowed from Clay's parents and some fabric artwork I made (or "ot" as Gracie calls it!). I went with brown curtains to break up all the brightness of the pink walls.
Gracie's big girl bed and her name "ot." We will probably transition to this bed this summer sometime after her 2nd birthday. I found the 4-post bed at a garage sale for $25!

The toy corner. Kinda crazy, but at least the toys are out of the living room now! Well, for the most part....
Clay painted this dresser and I found these cute pink crystal drawer pulls at Hobby Lobby.
One of my favorite things in the room--her table and chairs, found at Midtowne Antiques. Clay spray painted them this perfect shade of green. She has another green chair, but it currently has its home in the living room.
Gracie is growing up so fast! She is about to be 20 months old. She has started identifying a lot of colors (her favorite being pink, of course!), and she tries counting all the time (one, one, one, one! with inflection in her voice :). She will say other numbers, just not in sequence. She also can identify the letter "H" and sometimes "Y," "G," and "U." Why she always knows "H" and only sometimes knows the first letter of her name, I don't know. For some reason, "H" has made an impression on her! I think the one of the coolest things is that she knows the difference between numbers, letters, and colors. If I say "ABC," she will undoubtedly say "H." And if I talk about numbers, she will name some. She also is a little parrot and repeats just about everything you say, and talks up a storm at home. I'm very proud of her as you can tell!

This Past Month...

Well, I was so good to get pictures up when we got home from the hospital, but as you can tell, it's been a while! We've been busy adjusting to our new family of four. Gracie has been adjusting very well. She is sometimes extra sensitive and emotional, but for the most part, she learns to love Andrew more and more each day! Here she is helping with the pacifier.
Gracie's latest favorite thing to do is go go around naked, or "nake" as she calls it.
Andrew's not sure about the pink room. The walls give him a pink hue, don't they?
Right before a snooze...
Craft time... a sock puppet. I must remember to buy washable markers next time!
Hey, this roast beef sandwich is good! Who knew?
Getting ready to play in the snow...
My little snow princess.
My sweet babies
