Shake It Out

I'm so excited for the new Florence + The Machine album!

Nursery

If curious, here's a glimpse of the room we designed for little Thomas. As a nursing mother, with a son who feeds best in his poang chair, I'm quite glad we took the time to add visual interest and colour for adults as well as tykes as I presently find myself spending many hours a day and night sitting in there.

Hair

With a little guy who loves to tug on his mommy's tresses (I think my next etsy purchase is going to be one of these), I'm feeling inspired by these styles via Month of Hair Calendar via Refinery 29. These styles are perfect for when we're dancing around his nursery in late morning (the perfect cure to soothe a fussy newborn). I've played all sorts of music for dancing, but Thomas is particularly smitten with And if Venice is Sinking (which I played after hearing on an episode of Being Erica a few evenings ago) even though Greg's rooting for the boy to like Stereolab.

Tummy Time

One of my favourite times of the day - holding a sleeping Thomas on my chest.

Birthday

Happy 1 week, Thomas! Love, Mommy and Daddy.

We're celebrating one week together with a neighbourhood stroll in our new Ergo!

New

Our little family grew by one last Thursday evening. At 7:35 pm, Greg and I welcomed our sweet son, Thomas Walter - a 8 lbs 7 oz bundle of joy - six days early. Over the past six days, we've been taking time to bond as a family - lots of skin-to-skin contact, story time and monologues spoken to him by each of us about any number of topics regarding our life together, our home and our family. It's been a blissful, dreamy and sleepy few days.

Welcome Thomas. We love you with everything we have. The world has never known someone exactly like you, and we're blessed to be your parents. xo

Cards

I'm loving Lagdom Design's greeting cards. Wouldn't they certainly secure a smile if you were to find one in your post box?
