The nursery is coming along....

This past Saturday my amazing and very talented cousin Tonja came to Maumelle and worked most of the day sewing the crib bedding. I can honestly say I LOVE IT!! She made the bumpers, sheets and the crib skirt and I should have the curtains this weekend! Josh's Dad also made a wall shelf for the wall above the crib and it got put up and it also looks so good! Right now we just have random stuff thrown up on it, but we plan to get free standing letters spelling Reed and some other baseball accents we have gotten. We also got our chair in, but it was the WRONG chair....ugh!! It was the right fabric, just the wrong chair. The company has promised it by the 10th so we will see! Here's what everything looks like so far....

This is a picture that shows the shelf above the crib! The bumpers are also reversible! I also have a blue sheet, so I can reverse the bumpers to show more red or blue.


Here is Tonja sewing away! We had a great day hanging out, sewing and stuffing bumpers!

This is "Homer!" You may have noticed him in the first picture. Really this is a rock and learn musical toy. I saw them in the JcPenney's magazine (there are several different ones) and when I saw this one, it didn't matter what the price was I had to have it! Luckily they were on sale! Reed won't be able to use it for several months, but I love it! It plays, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," the ABCs and a 1,2,3 song....so cute! Check them out here http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/SearchDepartment.aspx?SearchString=sit+and+learn&JSEnabled=false&mscssid=&cmResetCat=true&hdnOnGo=true you can click on one of them and see all seven different types.
