a peter rabbit nursery

Our Little Peter bunny has had a rough week, especially sleep-wise.  it's all due to some hardcore teething & i'm assuming, an intense growth spurt (at least I'm hoping that's what it is) and the poor kid is just a mess 85% of the day. he was so tired this week he's fallen asleep on the floor drinking his milk before 6pm four different times!  he barely even woke up when i changed his diaper and transferred him to his bed.  our kids are notoriously bad sleepers and this has NEVER happened for him, he usually has to fall asleep in his crib, noise machine on & holding my hand while sing to him over and over again.  

but two nights ago the stars aligned, the heavens parted and PB slept straight through the night!!!  the only time i woke up was to go to the bathroom #pregnancyproblems but the rest of the night was pure bliss.  well, excluding the toddler who comes in every night and takes up the entire bed... and after getting such a good night of rest you'd think PB would be nothing but sunshine & a smiles the entire day but nooo, he was ready to take a nap by 10:30am, and that was pushing it, he wanted to go down around 9! #growthspurt much?! i just had to keep reminding myself all day to be thankful for the uninterrupted sleep i got that night and the beauty that is caffeine. Annnnd then there was last night where i didn't end up getting into bed till 3am thanks to the little man... reminding myself over and over how great that previous night was and wishing there was a way to store up on sleep for later ;)  

so while we wait for this odd little phase to pass, i thought it might be a good time to share this little bunny's room now that it's (mostly) done!

nightstand: i just used an empty white crate i had and stood it up vertically!  this one is pretty similar and i'm loving the rustic finish on it || lamp: similar || yarn wall tapestry: this one was handmade by yours truly but you can find some gorgeous & totally unique ones here on Etsy

oh yeah, the baby in that picture fram is totally not Peter... note to self-- order baby pictures. 

Crib: IKEA || rug: Target || hamper/basket:HomeGoods  

shelf: homegoods Similar || book: amazon
given his name, he's obviously gonna be gifted plenty of Peter Rabbit inspired items and we are not complaining one bit!  we call him "Peter rabbit" & "Peter bunny" all the time so the theme fits :) 

 
wreath: Magnolia Market  || Peter Rabbit bunny: Amazon   
Peter just adores those little bunnies.  When it's time for bed we'll say-- "go find your bunnies and bring them to bed." He gets so excited collecting them from wherever they are laying around the house and waddles away into his room where he lays on the floor cuddling/hugging them :) 
oh, and fun fact-- that blanket behind the bunnies was Greg's baby blanket. 

changing table: IKEA   


string lights: target 

mirror: target similar  || rocking chair: similar


his "throwing a fit" position.   

wood block sign: Amazon  

so much truth on that little sign... and how cute are those elephant booties my sis crocheted for him?! :)

hope you all have a wonderful & relaxing weekend!

peter's newborn photos

on the 29th little man turned five months old, how is that possible?!  it seems like only a few weeks ago he was this tiny little munchkin who did nothing but eat, cry & sleep.  not much has changed in that regard except that he's switched out the crying for happily screeching like a velociraptor while he's awake and playing.  his favorite time to practice this new skill is right after he wakes up in the morning, i think it's his way of trying to make sure everyone else in the house wakes up. "everyone still sleeping?  here, let me sing you the song of my people!"  it can be both adorable & slightly annoying, but mostly adorable.  funny how babies work like that huh?  so, in honor of his graduation from tiny little infant to dinosaur, here are some photos from his newborn session to enjoy!  im having a hard time believing he was ever this small... 

p.s. a huge thank you to my amazingly talented sister who took these for us!

rough days. happy pictures.

these past few days have been rough.  little man has been sick and wants to be held all day & all night, i can feel myself getting sick (seriously, there should be some kind of natural law that doesn't allow moms to get sick) and zo was sick two weeks ago.  it's not even winter time yet!  "building our immune systems" is what i have to keep telling myself as i wipe snot off of peter's face for the 50th time today.  hopefully by the time cold & flu season is upon us we'll have already paid our fair share of sleepless nights, runny noses & sore throats to not get sick anymore *fingers crossed*. so while i sit here in the rocking chair trying to get peter to stay asleep, i thought i'd post a few photos that make me smile and help to remind myself of how lucky & blessed i really am. i hope you all had a great wednesday! wait is it already thursday? someone please pass the wine coffee...
