Nathanael and Teddy's Room

I've shown you photos of Nathanael's room before, but things are little different now that Teddy has moved in, too. :-)

The change table with some furry friends and an adorable
pillow made by Kathryn at http://ourshabbycottage.blogspot.com/

Notice the new "Beatrix Potter" curtains found on eBay. :-)

The boys' initials in Beatrix Potter letters. :-)
And a picture of Teddy in the bath- 3 months old. :-)

Finished Rocking Chair Project

I love rose decals....

Nathanael wanted to model the chair. :-)

The rocking chair has a fairly rough coat of paint. But that makes it more "shabby chic", right? Haha

Actually, I just don't have time to try for a perfect finish. And the overall effect is much better now. :-)

Newest photos of Teddy :-)

The three boys- they're a cute bunch. :-)

My friend, Jessica K. and I were making Teddy smile at church. :-)He is 10 weeks old in these pictures.

Big smiles for Daddy when he gets home from work- 11 weeks old.

I finished painting my rocking chair today. One coat, anyway, so when I bring it in the house again, I'll post some pics of that. :-)

Tummy Time With Teddy :-)

Teddy is 8 weeks old and new rocker project :-)

I got the pictures in the wrong order. Haha So, here is the rocking chair we bought at a second hand store so that I have somewhere to nurse and rock Teddy in the family room. ( My main"feeding chair" is in the living room.) I made the chair pad while Teddy was napping the other day. The fabric was a piece I had been saving for a while that I bought at a quilt shop with my mom last time we went to Idaho. :-)

I will paint the chair white as soon as I get a chance. Of course, then I won't be able to use it for a little while until the paint dries. Haha :-) I think that will be a big improvement, though. The wood colour doesn't look the greatest with our other furniture.

Teddy and me after his bath. He is starting to enjoy them now. Even smiling. :-)

He enjoys taking his morning snooze in the swing.

Big brother in his new suit. Teddy has a matching one, which is still too big.

Teddy just discovered the mirror above his head in the swing. :-)He was quite fascinated.

When we took Teddy to his 6 week checkup (he was actually 7 weeks, though) we found out that he now weighs 12 1/2 pounds! Quite a chubby baby. :-) I'm glad that he is growing so well. Nathanael was always a skinny baby, so this is a new experience. Hehe I love his chubby cheeks and the rolls on his legs. :-)

Announcing the arrival of Theodore David on September 2nd!

Teddy's first Sunday at church.

4 days old

With Nathanael, just after we got home from the birth centre.

So Teddy is still less than a day old in this picture.

We are very excited to announce the safe arrival of our little Teddy. :-) The labour went very well, lasting only 3 1/2 hours (or about 6 hours after my water breaking). My midwife did a wonderful job supporting us throughout the labour and birth. A much different experience from Nathanael's birth 3 years ago.

So far Teddy is a very easy baby. He seems to have a very laid back personality in contrast to Nathanael's more intense one. Which will be good as they grow up together. :-) Nathanael already loves his little brother, and enjoys getting to hug, kiss and hold him.

I will probably not be able to post on this blog as often now, as we concentrate on enjoying Teddy's newborn days, but I will try to post new photos, etc. now and then. :-)

Nathanael's 3rd birthday party :-)

Here are some pictures from Nathanael's "Thomas the Tank Engine" birthday party. I think he really enjoyed turning 3. :-) It ended up that almost all of his presents were "Thomas" related. Haha He loves playing with his new train sets! They are taking up half the floor space in my sewing/reading room. Haha :-) Nathanael's friends from church, Zach and Chloe.

The birthday cake.

Opening presents.

Daddy lighting the candles.

Nathanael decided it was his job to cut the cake. Haha

Me, Carolyn and Diana

Happy Birthday Boy! :-)
