Recorded on November 27, 2012. Ezekiel at age 2 years, 8 months.

Nursery update

Well we got the painting done! We ended up with soft lilac walls, and barely pink (practically white) chair rails. Micah got the crib assembled. I was so excited about the crib bumper I had picked out and noticed online that the stock was getting low so I went ahead and ordered in. I didn't want to take the chance of them running out! It arrived yesterday and it's just as adorable as I had hoped. Pink and flowery with soft fuzzy lambs.

Trying to show the wall color and pink trim. The inside of the door frame is white.

For now we have the big white floor lamps in Aria's room because they were already there when we were using the space as an office. We'll probably end up moving them out eventually but we're not sure what all else we're putting in the room. We have a dresser/changing table that we bought from our neighbor but Micah still has to do some work on it so for now that is still in the garage. We are also hoping to get a chair and a rug for her room but still not sure if that's going to happen.
So her room is coming together and I'm loving all of this girly stuff!

Painting and daddy

All day yesterday Ezekiel was bringing up daddy. Either Ezekiel was asking where he was (at work), or after hearing a car drive by our house saying that it was daddy's car, or requesting to show daddy something.
Ezekiel loves to do crafts, color, and especially paint. He had asked to show daddy his painting so we took a picture and we emailed it to him. Then later I got out a piece of paper for him to put stickers on. After putting the first sticker on Ezekiel said that he wanted to show daddy his stickers when he was done with work. I think his sentence went something like "I show my daddy my stickers when he done work". It's been a more recent thing that Ezekiel has started to talk in longer sentences. It's been so fun to hear him very diligently try to express what he's thinking in long strings of words. He's also been calling Micah "my daddy" instead of just daddy :)

Aria's Room

Micah has a week off from work this week. He took advantage of the time off to help me turn the office into Aria's room. It's been fun preparing for her and its been putting me at ease getting this done much in advance to her due date! I chose a nice soft lilac color for the walls. Micah convinced me to choose a barely pink (almost white) color for the trim. It's very girly and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I plan to add a lot of pink with her crib bumper and other accents. So fun!

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving this year. We went to Sarasota for a few days. Ezekiel got a lot of attention from my parents on this trip! We also had my grandmother over for thanksgiving dinner.

My mom and dad gave him this motorized spider man motorcycle that he played with allllll day

Ezekiel did a great job sleeping on the mattress. I think he enjoyed all the extra room!

IPad!

Micah completely surprised me with an iPad! My sweet hard working husband picked up some freelance work just so that he could buy me something nice for Christmas and my bday. So so sweet. Hopefully I'll be better about blogging now!
