A new logo for my uncles consulting business

 And more pictures of the wee one... fat rolls for all of you!

The Boy Rolls

Micah was officially 4 months old today and to celebrate he decided it was the perfect day to start rolling back to front- I being the incredibly observant mother thought he'd already done this before... (he had stopped rolling at all for the last month, lazy boy) but when his dad got home he pointed out that he used to roll from front to back... duh! So I videoed it for you ... not his first time but the 4th time is close enough right? After figuring it out this afternoon he is refusing to lay still... guess I can't walk off an leave him anymore! Did I forget to mention that the first time he rolled over I had him on the kitchen table?! 

The video quality isn't great... but you get the idea!

17 weeks

Our little goober is 17 weeks- How has time gone by that fast?

He has quite the personality

and let's you know when he's not happy about something

like having a million pictures taken

Don't you dare put him on the ground... however, being propped up in a box is fully acceptable

I'm glad we have that straight! 

Ubers Birthday Party

Here is the front of the Birthday card I made for Uber

Mum threw him a Mexican themed party- which was hysterical and this is why I love my husband...
he's more than willing (in fact I would probably say happy to) rock a sombrero all night long! And how about Micah's face in the next shot... lol
Poor child is going to be sooo scarred!

I have SO many projects I am working on... can't wait to show them to you... one of them is trying to get Mum posting again- I tell you what people she is making stuff and holding out on you- lol!!

Nursery Reveal

I am so happy to finally show you Micah's completed nursery!

My goal was to create a fun space that he wasn't going to out grow quickly. I really wanted to stay away from any specific theme's but have a lot of nature inspired items. It was amusing to realize later that the first item I had for the nursery was a calendar print of James Christensen's Flight of the Fable Maker that I'd had my Mum frame a few years ago. I had it hanging else where in the house and had totally forgotten about it until half way through finishing the nursery. It fits in perfectly and ties the whole room together. So somewhere I managed to keep that in the back of my mind as I made all of my design choices!

I can't say by any stretch of the imagination that this nursery really ended up being budget friendly, well at least by our standards. But I did pick items that could be used for all future children and then could transition into our house in other areas easily. And everything that I could possible do myself I did.



Matt and I have always thought it would be fun to have a giant map in the house so I decided to incorporate one into the nursery. I just love the array of muted colors it brings into the room and I made a bunch of flags out of Japanese masking tape and straight pens to mark all of the place we've been separate, together, and soon as a family.

It's hard to pick a favorite item in the room but the Tree Stump Ottoman is definitely near the top. And to make it even sweeter it's full of a schleich animal collection my dad has steadily been adding to.

The Mobile and Quilt are my other favorites for the room. And are hopefully items that will be with him for many years to come.

Most of the toys in the room are hand-me-downs from various family members. With a few additions like his own Steiff elephant, SIGG bottle and various Melissa & Doug items.
Well there it all is finally! I hope you guys enjoy the pictures as much as we are enjoying the room! Oh and sorry there is not Micah shoot for you this post has taken a few days to get together and I simply forgot to load one in at the bottom when I started... I'll try to get some up in the next few days! : P

Thanksgiving Holiday

We had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday. Ubers parents came out from California to see Micah for the first time! We had Mum take a bunch of pictures while they were here. The lighting sucks... which is my houses fault not mums.

The day after Thanksgiving we all went out to the beach... so weird...

blue jelly fish
have no idea what kind this is... but he's cute
This is how Micah and Uber roll... his neck is fine he really likes it like this... he will scream at you if you try and move it! (No we don't let him do this all of the time though)
We ordered baby sunglasses ...lol... he was in a bad mood that night but the picture made me laugh. He doesn't mind wearing them.
And this one just to make you want to pinch his cheeks! He's all pimped out for church, this is an outfit mum got him and I LOVE it!
crafting tomorrow if I can get the pictures uploaded!
