James Toddler Room

   We can't believe how big our sweet boy is getting! He turned two this month AND this past weekend transitioned to his toddler bed! I am so thankful how smoothly that has gone so far! He hasent even hopped out once. I think he kind of loves it. He was so cramped in his pack and play. I will say I enjoy being able to (kind of) crawl into bed with him in the morning when he is just waking up. It is quite the task with this giant belly though!;)
   In honor of his big milestone I thought I'd share his toddler room so far. Jess got a lot hung up in here for me this weekend, finally!:) haha
I will be adding a white ceramic deer head in the frame above his bed. I ordered off of zulily so it could be Christmas before it up!;) I would also like to add either a Pom Pom or flag banner to that same wall.

Here is his teepee/ book reading wall. I am planning on adding a tree branch hanging from the ceiling above the teepee and also another frame in the "collage" already there with cloud and a moon stuffed pillows in them. Also making the fireplace into a bookshelf and painting the brown child's chair white!

Here's his school desk!:) we are planning on making most of this wall into a chalkboard!

James 2nd birthday

Yesterday little James turned TWO! I still am in shock how fast time is flying by especially since this guy has been born. It makes it even more real looking back at these pics...that wasn't just yesterday?!?
Funny thing is..I used to not really like this pic bc I am all sweaty and gross looking. Now I love it! I love the brand new baby and adoring momma look of this!

Here's my sweet little 2 year old enjoying his birthday pancakes.

We ended up going to a local apple orchard with his cousins, aunts, and grandmas. That was an absolute BLAST!:) this orchard is a long time favorite. It has a gift shop, bakery/eatery, animals, playground and all other sorts of fun things! Generally we like to wait till after sep 1st to go but decided to go earlier for his bday. It was by far the best. Not near as crowded as it gets in the fall!:)
James could barely withstand his excitement about the goats and chickens they had, AND you can feed them which he was thrilled with!

Playing with his cousins. 
    Afterwards, we met up with Jess for a quick lunch. He also got off work early and we took little James swimming! James was napping when he officially turned 2 at 3:24 pm but you better believe I snuck in a gave him a kiss anyways!;) It was a wonderful day!:) We love you so much little boy and can't wait for all our new adventures to come! Next up, a little sissy to love on!:)
