Elijah Moved

*Note: these photos were supposed to go after the entry about the new nursery, but since I am new to this blogging thing I didn't do it quite right. So, this order really bugs me, but you're gonna get the photos first and then you can read the story, I guess. :( sorry. I'll try to do better next time, but I am not promising anything.


Elijah's old crib is white and sage green. He has pulled this canopy down on top of himself several times, so I was sure the new crib would NOT have a canopy. This is where baby #2 will soon sleep.

Here is Elijah's old room. I realize now that I should have taken the tacky diaper champ out of the picture...sorry about that. The newborn will get to have the glider in his room of course. :)

Here is a close up of Elijah's new "big boy" bedding set. He loves the circles!

Here is a picture a bit further away. Elijah got to take Rupert (that is the name of his huge over sized bear) with him to his new room and a big boy reading chair. He also got some nice artwork on his walls, instead of the pregnancy pictures of mommy that were in the old room.

Switching Rooms

Now that we are preparing for baby #2 we had to give up our beloved guest bedroom and turn it into yet another nursery. We went round and round with the options for rooms and ended up deciding to keep the first nursery the same and give Elijah a new "big boy" room where he would have plenty of room to play. He still has a crib, but we were able to buy boyish bedding this time since his old bedding was gender neutral because, as you know, we chose not to find out the sex of the baby till Elijah's birth.

So, Elijah packed up his things (which means mommy moved all his current clothing into the closet next door) and transfered to a new room. He was so excited, and it just so happened that his new bedding has circles on it (his favorite)! Of course the first time we tried to give him a nap in the new room all he wanted to do was jump up and down in the new crib! It took a while for him to get used to the fact that he was supposed to sleep in the crib instead of talk, bounce, teethe, or roll around.

So, here are some pictures of his new room and his old room (where baby number two will sleep). The old bedroom is much more newborn-ish, I think.
