You might be a Momma if...
.... You have accepted that between the baby and the cat you may never visit the bathroom alone again.
We have a walker!!!
The last couple weeks Eb has experimented with standing and taking a step or two, but never any distance. Well all that has changed the last three days! It all started with three or four steps between Chris and I. The next day it was a few more, then yesterday he walked all the way across the kitchen! I've started clapping for him whenever he stands alone or walks and he LOVES it. He even has this new smug smile for whenever he does something he thinks I should clap for.
He really doesn't want any help. Most of the time he starts out pulling himself up on our legs or a chair then shuffling for his destination. Whenever you try to hold his hands he gets all jelly legged and wants to plop back down. During this time he is also mastering getting into a standing position without holding on to anything. It works best when he gets himself in a squat and uses his hands for balance to stand up. Of course this is one of the moves that he thinks requires applause, and we are more than happy to oblige!

Eb's room: After
I don't have any pictures of Eb's room before, but it was pretty basic. His is the smallest of the bedrooms on the southeast corner of the house. It was white either tan trim, and until we got around to painting it we used it mostly for storage.
Since it was the last room to be painted, and we wanted it to be cheerful, we combined leftover colors from the rest of the house for an accent wall. We decided to use our old dresser for Eb since we bought my sister's old bedroom suite and don't need the extra dresser any longer. I'm really excited about how it turned out and how everything fit. It would need some modification if we ever wanted to make it a girl's room, but it's a great boys nursery for now! All we are missing is a rocker and some verses we want to paint on the wall soon!

Who wants to walk when you can climb?!
Went searching for Eb after a suspicious stretch of silence - and found him standing in a chair! He has discovered a love for climbing recently and we went through several climbs up and down the chair until I felt confident that next time (and, yes, I'm sure there will be a next time whether I'm okay with it or not!) he could get down safely even if I wasn't around.

Flowers from my Hubby!
One of my favorite combinations is tulips and roses! I love the contrasting colors and textures you can achieve with them. Tulips also make me think of spring, gentle warmth and beauty. I've also been itching to use my case and mug from Boonesburough die ages and this was tge perfect excuse! Ahhh, flower bliss thanks to my thoughtful husband!
