Growing Up

I can't believe my baby is going to be a big brother. 

We honestly haven't made many preparations for baby Error #2, but now that I've gotten some energy back I am feeling the nesting bug bite. However, all nursery work is postponed until a little construction project is completed in the designated room. So, what is an expectant mother with creative needs to do?! Why not get working on big brother's room? I have been itching to "de-nurserify" Grant's room for a while, but as I've been making plans in my head my heart hurts to let go of his babyhood. Here's what his room looked like when we brought him home from the hospital (two apartments ago).

And here's my little sweetheart the day we moved from that apartment, and he from his first little nursery. 

To be practical and save myself a little heartache, I'm going to recycle a lot of the original elements--just "grow them up" a little. Stay tuned for updates on Granty's big boy beachy room. Already underway! Sheesh they grow up so fast.
