malin turned 6 months old today.... i can't believe it! she is getting so big, way too fast!
i'm totally laughing as i write this post because back when i was pregnant...and we didn't know the gender of our little peanut, i remember nonchalantly explaining to many people that i wasn't worried about decorating the nursery....because "i would have plenty of time to do that after the baby was born...and it would be easier because then we would know the gender...."
HA! .... it is safe to say that i now see the naivety in this once blissful dream....of creatively and energetically decorating a nursery while my beautiful babe nestled and napped for hours on end... yes, veteran moms, the joke's on me! : )
...ah...well... a few months ago matt and i (and malin) finally began some projects for her room....and now...months later....have finally finished them. better late than never, right?!?!
so here you go... i still haven't put anything on the walls, but the curtains are up, the mobile is hung...and matt built a little desk for when malin gets big enough to color and paint!
first...curtains... got this sweet fabric when i was out in portland at the biggest and most incredible fabric store ever....
malin's desk....
...a nap after all the work...
....before....
.... and after...
...the little red stool fits underneath!
and finally...the bookcase....before...
...and after...
ahhhh....done!
