And the love of stuffed animals continues...

Josiah has recently decided that stuffed animals are the BEST!  Unfortunately I couldn't get the video of his first best friend, Froggie, uploaded to the Blog so only those of you on Facebook have seen the first hand evidence.  Let me assure those of you who didn't see the video...Josiah LOVES Froggie:-)  Froggie is a stuffed Frog (clever name, I know) that he got from Grandma Sissy and it's almost as big as he is but he doesn't seem to notice, he lugs him around everywhere.  He hugs him, feeds him and talks to him non-stop!  The other morning I went in to get him up and he was talking to another stuffed friend, Blue Cow.  Blue Cow is a musical cow that he got from Uncles Noah and Josh when he was born and it's been in his crib ever since.  Here are some pictures and a short video of him and Blue Cow, it's the beginning of a beautiful friendship...hopefully Froggie isn't the jealous type:-)

Morning Mommy!

"Want a bookia (Nuk) Blue Cow?"

"Siwwy (That's silly!)"

Great Room Shift Update

I posted awhile back about how we had started the Great Room shift to get ready for the baby. At that time we had made minimal progress but progress nonetheless! Anyway, we had a HUGE leap forward a few weeks ago when my ever-so-helpful mom and sister came over and we emptied out the old office (now nursery) and organized some things in the new office/guest room with the rest migrating downstairs to storage. After that, all that was left was to paint the nursery and move the baby furniture in. And I'm MORE than excited to say that it happened last night!! Once again, my sister came through and brought over a few helpers too! Miles was site supervisor (he kept tabs on us all from the pack-n-play-see pic below) and Kyle was co-furniture mover with Seth. Seth also did his part in the painting (also see pic below) by rolling while Robin and "cut in". The whole thing took about 7 hours with 2 coats of paint, a dinner/American Idol break and finally furniture rearranging (and rearranging and rearranging again...sorry boys!) but it's done!! A BIG thanks to the Kroening family for their help, we could NOT have done it without you!! DISCLAIMER: Yes, Miles is in the room where we were painting but it was well ventilated and he was not in there for very long!

Miles was our Supervisor...laying down on the job but he's only 9 months old so we let it slide:-)

Robin and I cutting in Seth was master paint roller

All finished! Thank you Uncle Marc and Auntie Jen for the beautiful baby bedding set!!

Can't wait for baby to get here so we can try out the rocker:-)
