Nursery II

I am trying to come up with nursery ideas for baby boy that will incorporate most of the items that we already have.  I have been drawn to a lot of the nautical themed nurseries that I have seen and feel like I could add a few key pieces that would turn what we already have into a cute space. Since we are planning on putting the crib in our room for the short time that we will be living in this house (about 8 months of his life), there is not much space to decorate.  We are mainly looking into wall decor for above the crib - either a decal or wooden letters/decor - and perhaps a crib blanket, pillow, or rug.

This is what we're starting with in regards to the bedding from Gray's bed:

3 Crib sheets

The crib skirt that we have is still the one that I made for Gray, along with the same crib.

I found the following clothes hamper at Home Goods and bought it recently - my first purchase for the new "nursery"

Now, we need to figure out decor - I saw these at Buy Buy Baby, but I didn't purchase them yet - we still aren't sure exactly what we want to have on the wall yet.

I think the colors we'll go with will be gray (due to the bedding we already have), blue (light and navy) and perhaps a pop of orange.  Let me know if you see something we shouldn't live without!

Quick Trip

Grayson and I went on a quick weekend trip to Lubbock with my parents to visit my grandparents last weekend.  It takes around 6 hours to get there, and I was a little apprehensive about how Gray would do in the car the whole time.  I am so happy to say that he was a CHAMP!  I had purchased a movie for him to watch on the IPAD if he got too bored, but there was a technical problem on the way there, so he couldn't watch the movie or any of the Disney shows that we own, and thankfully, it wasn't a problem.

Gray jammed out to "Old McDonald" about 20 times on the way there

 We got to Lubbock really late Friday night, and after playing with a few of the toys at my grandparent's house, it was bedtime.  Saturday morning was Bailee's birthday (my cousin's little girl) so we celebrated with a large breakfast.  We went to the grocery store later that morning and Gray found a shopping cart that was just his size.

That afternoon, Bailee opened her gifts and then her mommy let Grayson play with the bag:

We left Lubbock around noon on Sunday after having brunch with the family at my grandparent's favorite local joint.  I remembered to ask for a picture of Grayson with his grandparents and great-grandparents before we left the restaurant.  Grayson wasn't super cooperative, but at least I have an updated picture of him with my family.

My Nana and Gangan are Gray's only great-grandparents, so we love it when he is able to spend time with them.  Love them to pieces!
