First I have to show off my new curtains, they are SO pretty. I picked out the material and my sister in law Luda sewed them for me. We have a system - I give her jewelry, she does my sewing, it's pretty great.
You can see in this next picture the color of part of the wall that the curtains are meant to complement. The flash kind of distorts the color of the curtains, they aren't quite so bright - they are like the color of a beautiful dark red wine. I LOVE them.
Now on to Josiah. He is getting better at playing in his exersaucer - there is this one yellow toy that he always gets mad at after about 15 seconds of chewing on it. I've actually started taking it off when he is in there. But I got these pictures before he started fussing.
He has the best little smile. I see my dad in him in this picture.
Falling asleep on Daddy's lap, watching the Simpsons.
Not his most flattering picture, but tell me if you can figure out what color his eyes are? I look at them all the time and I still can't figure it out. And check out how big his pupils are! Yep, he got those from me.
I got these shots today - he was giving me the sweetest smiles. Sometimes he looks at me with this special smile/gaze that I know is just for me. It makes me melt.
Now for pictures of his room. I haven't taken any because it has been a mess for literally the first 5 months of his life. I had stuff EVERYWHERE! I finally spent a whole day working on it, and got everything sorted and cleaned up, so now I can show it off. I got the idea for the clothesline from Heidi who just had her baby girl. I think it is so cute.
At some point I want to get his name hung up between the two windows behind the rocking chair. The cradle in this picture is full of stuffed animals - mostly beanie babies. I collected them a long time ago and just recently got them back from my in laws house. I didn't even know they were there! I had completely forgotten them, but they are in great shape, and since I've got them I figured this was the perfect place for them.
I did another clothesline on this wall above the bureau and changing table. The stuff hanging is special to me, or really cute stuff that he has grown out of. By the way - he is HUGE! He is 18 pounds - more than that now - that was at his 4 month appointment and he is 5 months now. Some of the clothes he wears is 9-12 months and the striped outfit he has on in the previous pictures is 12 months! I love that he is so healthy but I wouldn't mind if he stopped getting so heavy - my arms are always tired.
He was sleeping while I was taking all these pictures. I love my little boy but this right here...this is the best part of the day.
Aaaahhh.
This video is over a minute long, which might be too long for people who aren't into babies, and it's not super great quality, but I think it is REALLY cute.
