My Favorite Things

We having amazing friends and family and we were given so many great gifts for our baby girl. But I have to say that I have a couple of favorites. The first gift is a onesie with a purple and pink paraglider embroidered on it. My friend Brett drew it out and embroidered it himself. And look how cute it is! Baby K has her first paragliding outfit :)


The second gift is quilt that is handmade for Baby K by Erik's Grandma. This is just the sweetest quilt I have ever seen and I and Baby will cherish it. What a wonderful one of a kind gift! And I love that it has butterflies on it since we seem to have a little butterfly theme going in her room.

Ozzy's Room

My sweet Ozzy thinks that we have made him his own room. He hasn't tried to jump in the crib yet but he does like to hide under it. Hopefully he'll stay off of my beautiful glider. He has yet to discover the changing pad but I think he'll like that too. He absolutely loves this rug and spends lots of time curled up on it. How cute is that! I just had to share...

A Baby Weekend

It has been a really busy past couple of weeks! We are turning what was the office into our baby room... finally! Two weekends ago Erik and I bought about 8 different paint samples and tried to pick a color. Do you know how hard it is to pick a color from a small patch on the wall?!? Ater lots of back and forth we finally chose this lovely green and Erik got down to work. My sweet hubby painted the whole thing all by himself! I only helped with the taping :)

During the week, our crib and dresser were delivered and then Erik and I put together a giant store cube thing that we bought at Ikea.

My parents came in town last weekend to help with baby room stuff and to come to the Baby BBQ that my in-laws threw for us. I dragged my parents around to just about every baby store in the city! We bought a rug, curtains, canvas storage boxes for our storage cube, and all kinds of other random baby stuff that we apparently need. Geez, babies need lots of stuff! But I finally feel like we are making some progress towards getting ready for baby. Only 8 weeks to go!

We still need stuff for the walls but its coming along.

The giant storage cube! It still needs a bit of organizing!

On Saturday night, we had a Baby BBQ at Erik's parents house. Nancy did a fantastic job putting it all together. The carne asada was fantastic, excellently bbq'ed by Gordon. There were lots of family and friends there and I think everyone had a great time. Thanks to everyone who was able to be there and a BIG thanks to Nancy and Gordon for the party!

Sunday morning Erik and my parents and I had breakfast in PB at World Famous and then spend a little time walking on the beach. I still sometimes find it hard to believe that I live in such a gorgeous place. Anybody want to go to the beach?
