Dream closet

I'm finally creating the closet I've always wanted. It's for my little girl:)

One well-dressed baby

More shoes for Maggie! These are actually little socks with pink poofs at the toes. If they weren't cute enough already, their name is Tiny Dancer.



Also I forgot to mention in yesterday's post that everytime I tried to talk up the upcoming doctor's visit Mac would remind me that he needed a checkup with the dentist. I think that is due to the combined efforts of his school (who had a dentist week and a hygienist came in to talk to their class) and his Aunt Jessica (who is going to be a dentist soon).
Mac and Jessica will both be pleased to know that he has an appointment scheduled in 2 weeks for his first checkup with a pediatric dentist!

Growing up

This morning was Mac's 3 year checkup. He is doing great and seems right on track developmentally. He had to get a finger prick and a shot as well. He was very brave through the finger prick and even watched and didn't fuss as the nurse squeezed his finger and filled up the collection tube.
When she did the shot he did cry, but she said it was a bad injection that burns so that was expected. He did great and dried up the tears quickly, of course, only after informing me several times that he did not like it.

When the doctor was in the room, Mac kept asking where Dr somebody was. I couldn't figure out who he was talking about until after we had left the office. He was asking where Dr. Seuss was :)

Lastly, I have a story that sums up the attitude around our house lately. Before we left this morning, I told him to grab a jacket because it might be chilly and he said "ok let me check the weather." He went to the back door, opened it, and leaned out. He agreed that it was cold so then he was okay to go get his jacket. He is growing up really fast and seems to think he knows everything.

Working

Sorry the picture isn't great, but this is the sight that greeted me when I arrived home from work the other day.

"Look Mommy I look like I'm going to work"

Also an important note:  Mac has learned the pledge of allegiance. I will get video of that up as soon as possible.

Nursery Progress

We still have a bit more painting to do and then the trim (crown molding, picture molding and chair rail) will go up this weekend. So excited that it's coming together! I can't wait to get the furniture moved in so I can start putting away the things we have and figuring out what we still need.

Better a late party than never

Thanks for all the family who came and celebrated with us.

What a busy weekend

We actually got alot accomplished this weekend.  We put together a new cabinet Friday night that will help clear all our office stuff out of the nursery.  That is a huge step toward getting things ready for the new baby.

On Saturday we got a load of pinestraw and over 2 days we did most of the beds in our yard.  Its amazing what a difference a little pinestraw can make.  We also had visitors!  Uncle Jeff and Jonah came to see Brett and go to a UGA basketball game.  Doug joined them for the game Saturday night and then they went to church with us this morning as well.

This evening we did something really exciting though.  We took the bed out of Mac's room and put in his new big bed.  It's the queen size bed from our guest room and then the guest room will get the crib and be the new nursery.  He has been really excited about getting a big bed.  The first night that we mentioned it he was ready to move it into his room right then.  He helped pick out new bedding with cool cars and trucks on it and a stool that he can use to help climb up.

He was very excited until it was time to go to bed and then he got a little nervous.  He loved that mommy and daddy could get on the bed with him to read his nightly Bible story and say his prayers.  Once we started to leave him he protested a bit.  He did relax enough to lay down and hopefully he is asleep now.  He has been quiet for awhile, but I'm not ready to risk going in there yet.  -------Scratch that, Doug just checked and he is asleep.  Hopefully that means in the morning we will have returned to the excited about the new bed stage.

And now a picture...
