Good Night... Sleep Tight!


This is the little munchkin almost a month ago, sound asleep but during a long afternoon nap... and now I NEVER thought I would be saying this (I was wishing and hoping and praying for it though) - he's sleeping 11 straight hours at night!! Thank goodness!!
Here's where little Jude does most of his sleeping - I never got around to posting these nursery pics before his arrival - but better late than never.
Jude's room was quite the labor of love, James and my Dad made the bookshelves, I sewed the curtains and bedding, Aunt Stacie and the Grandmas shopped for wonderful accessories, Kerry made the super cool clock on the wall, Nancy donated the crib and some antique items and wa-la!! I really loved how it turned out - and so does Jude, his eyes lit up when he saw it - they opened wide as he scanned the busy patterns and bright colors. Thank you IKEA!!




Yes, that is Joker and Batman - you have no idea how hard I tried to get them out of the room!!! James received them prior to baby's arrival and thought they'd make a nice addition to the room, I kept saying "what if it's a girl - we just can have them in here." Now that we have a baby boy none of my excuses have been accepted - they are here to stay!
PS - I'm still in the market for a rug - I was thinking green - but I'm having trouble finding one that's the right shade. Any other suggestions??

It was so nice to see you and finally meet Jude! He is a handsome little guy!!! You look GREAT!! I love your nursery. I would go with a green rug; they say green is the new color for nurseries. LEt me know if you are ever over our way; I'd love to have coffee and a "playdate".

He's soooo cute! Wish I could hold him and kiss him. He's BEAUTIFUL! Don't sound too partial, do I? Please give him a big hug and kiss for me. Love, Smother
