Cool Mist Humidifier

I went out and got this because Joshua had been so eager to touch my steam vaporizer, which is dangerous and hot, that I went to check out a Cool Mist Humidifier. Talk about having your baby go into a massive crying fit because he can't pick up the frog and play with it, but he can touch it. I'm going to have to have a growth chart made up of a frog dressed as a cowboy since he is so into frogs lately.

Room Decorations

This fall we plan to redo Joshua's bedroom into a cowboy theme for our little cowboy. So here are some decorations we bought.

Changes to Joshua's Room

I moved the dresser and changing table to the same wall and moved his crib to the other side of the room under his name. Now when you walk into the room the first thing you see is his crib. It seems to work out really well in the room, especially since he has no toys/books, etc in his room. They have all been moved to the playroom.

This is my inspiration for Joshua's Big Boy Room in another year or so.

Re-Organized Joshua's Room

I spent yesterday re-organizing Joshua's room to move the Amby Bed into his room so that he has a peaceful quiet spot for napping and at night since he sleeps in the Amby half the night. Last nights longest stretch was from 11:30-3:30. It was wonderful. I also noticed that we haven't swaddled him in like a month...he's doing great with that as well.

Written On The Wall

Not literally, but sort of. Raul put up Joshua's name this afternoon. I like it a lot.

Nursery Changes

We hung the blanket that Grandma Pauline sent to Joshua above his crib. It actually brightens up the room quite a bit.



I went to Target yesterday and bought this cube shelving to put his books and toys into to help declutter his room....and to think he can't even play with any of these yet.



I also could not resist this piggy bank....it's actually painted like a football.

Here is what the nursery looked like before we started:
