This weekend we were very blessed to have both Mike's parents and my own visiting us. With the impending arrival of baby brother in just 4.5 short months, we put them to work helping us paint! They stripped border, and more border (whoever laid border over border was not thinking about the people who would eventually have to take it off!), and painted eggshell blue walls a nice, fresh white. Here is the finished product - we have started moving some of baby boy's stuff in, but I will definitely post more pics when the room is completely decorated.
On top of new paint, we also put Joshua's new big boy bed together. We left the crib in his room, just in case he wasn't ready to make the transition to his new bed yet. He napped for two hours in it yesterday afternoon, and last night he slept in it almost through the night! He woke up at 10:30 because he couldn't find his puppy, but was soon again fast asleep. Then at 3 he walked into our room! I had heard him coming, so I took him back to his room and sat with him a couple minutes until he was sleeping. Then he slept straight until 7:15! Considering this was only his first night, we are pretty proud of him, and are hoping for another good night tonight! Mike is upstairs trying to get him down for a nap right now, but for some reason I am hearing more giggles than sleeping going on up there... ;-)
And little man is doing a little better with drinking his water instead of so much milk...we are now down to about 2.5 gallons of moo juice per week!
Despite making our parents work for their keep this weekend, we did manage to get lots of card games and nice family time in. :-)
Getting squirted with the hose to try to keep cool! I just love this picture because he still looks like my sweet little baby!
And some more pool time...this boy just loves the water!
Lounging in the yard...love these summer evenings!
We are looking forward to celebrating the 4th with good friends tonight. Hope you all have enjoyed this beautiful weekend!
