Thanks Kiley!
Boston's cousin Kiley (well Aunt Melessa) gave him all sort of her old toys. He's going to have so much fun with them when he's a bit older!

Little Truck Project
I have a few small little projects going on right now, and I finished this one.
Since this truck is going on his shelves and not going to be something he plays with, I used the same gray paint that we painted the wall. Add a ribbon and a little b and we're all set. It's crazy what a little paint, dollar store wall stickers and ribbon can do!

Moving Forward
Here's just a quick little post showing some of the things in the room. I never took pictures of our Ikea purchases, so I included some of those things.
Ryan put the Ikea bookcase together for me yesterday. We also got a few baskets to contain toys and things. I know, I know, most people would say I'm missing a basket, but I'm an odd numbers kinda gal. Seeing that there are an even amount of slots in the this bookcase, I wanted an odd number of baskets to break up that look of total uniformity.
I know I already bought a lamp for his room, but when I saw this one at Ikea for $20, I couldn't pass it up. Plus, I'm all about task and mood lighting. This light will be a lot less harsh on the eyes during middle of the night feedings. Isn't this little truck cute? There are magnets on the little shapes so they can be picked up. This is also from Ikea and was $15.
Ikea sheepskin (not real of course!) was only $24. My mom had a real one when I was little and just having a small one sort of like it is kind of nostalgic, don't you think? Plus it's super, super soft and cuddly.
Ikea blanket $3.99, too cute not to buy for that price! And it's ORANGE! Do you know how hard it is to find orange or yellow baby blankets that AREN'T pastel shades?!
And for posterity's sake, the dresser in it's final home under the window.

Okay, so baby boy's not technically born yet, but he is in existence! I really didn't expect anyone to buy him anything for Christmas, but my family wouldn't have had it any other way. Here are all the gifts he got:

Vintage Irmi Lamps: I can't choose!
I love the look of vintage Irmi lamps. There's nothing I hate worse than matchy-matchy generic nursery decor, and lamps and bedding are tied for the matchy-matchy prize. Don't get me wrong, there are some really cute baby bedding sets out there, they just aren't what I'm looking for.
These lamps are very unique and one of a kind and I like that a lot. Here are the Irmi lamps I'm leaning toward the most. I really need help deciding which one to get. The train and trolly definitely fit the color scheme best, but there's something about the ark and animals I like on the other lamp. HELP, I can't choose! Which one do you like best?
The ark comes with a plain white lamp shade (not original) but is missing the trolly driver part of the lamp. The train comes with the original shade. It has orange trains on a white and yellow checked background. The tolly doesn't come with a shade.

UPDATE: I just purchased the Orange Caboose lamp. I think it fit more of the criteria than the other two. I like that it still had it's original shade. Can't wait to get it!
