I Made a Fish

It is made from the same material that I made Peter's sleep sack out of. He really seemed to like playing with the sleep sack. I assumed it was the fabric that he liked. So I figured I would make something that he really could play with.

I found a clip art picture of a fish online, printed it out in the size I wanted and used it like a pattern. The eyes are really small button holes and the mouth is a satin stitch. I've decided that it is a boy fish because in the process of sewing him up he ended up with a big chin. :) I can't wait to see Peter play with it.

Baby Crack...

...is it good or bad?

This video is of Peter watching Baby Einstein

Peter is watching Baby Einstein Farm Animals. He only looked away from the TV when I moved closer to him.

Andrew's brother showed us the baby crack one day in Washington. He asked us if we wanted to see something funny and he turned on a Baby Einstein video and the then 2 year old Daniel comes running up and just stands staring at the TV. It was hilarious. He just stood there until it was over. I think Kaela who was 3 at the time came and stood and watched for a while too.

Also notice how well Peter sits up in the Bumbo. He's sat up on his own only a couple of times but he gets interested in something on the floor and doesn't stay sitting up.

Writing on the Wall

I got these super fun foam letters at Joann's. They're crooked but I'm told that gives them character. This picture helps make the green look not so bright. :) After I put these up Andrew said, "I didn't realize we name our son after this room." Goof ball! :)

We've Gone Green!!!

I finally decided on a paint color for one room! :) Peter's plain white room is now a vibrant green. I've been wanting to paint for a while now and was indecisive on a color. I don't really remember what made me choose green... perhaps it was the Lowes commercial where the mom & dad are looking at colors chips at the store and the lady suggests green because it is calming, then they switch to them painting the room green and the kids are being loud and they get quiet when they enter the room and when the parents turn around they're reading (apparently the boy is reading War & Peace and the girl is reading Sense and Sensibility). Either way I like the green that I chose.

I think we matched the color pretty well.

The room/wall after the 2nd coat of paint (it looked really streaky and ugly after the primer and only one coat of paint).

The curtain fabric next to the wall. I think it's going to look awesome!

Everything all back in the room (minus the futon).

I wasn't sure how the wall hangings were going to look but I really like how it turned out.

Temporary curtains. Even though this window faces north there's still too much light during the day for Peter's naps.

Gardner Look-alike Meter

That's what we've been saying. :)
