Carter's New Room

Checking out his new room
(those bins will have labels on them soon)
(the striped one is what the comforter will look like)

Don't mind the white spots

Changing table and book/toy area

First night in his new room
(sound asleep)

"helping" us put his room together

He loved the ladder

He was excited to bring his books out to the kitchen this morning
he was sitting down and reading but I didn't get to my camera in time.

Well we finally decided to get in gear and finish up Carter's new room. We spent the weekend moving things over and setting things up and I am happy to report it is finish. Well as finished as it is going to be for now. The walls are still a little bare and we have some spots that have been spackled but need to be painted. I have a few things to add to the walls and we will put more toys in his room to keep it from getting so cluttered in the living room. The room seems kind of boring right now but since he wasn't ready to go into a big bed yet we decided to borrow one of Brian and Erin's cribs and plan ahead for when he does get his big bed. My mom made the comforter for the bed and the curtains. The comforter is going to have a stripe on one side, almost like the striped basket under the changing table, and the other side is going to be a check of some sort. The colors are going to be a dark brown, light brown, a teal like blue and tan. I will also add some more pillows and things like that to the room as we find material. We just wanted to get him moved over before the baby comes and since we weren't expecting an early baby last time we thought we would plan ahead and give Carter ample time to get used to his new room and not feel like the baby took his place. He seems to like it a lot and loves that he has access to almost all of his books. He played in his room for awhile this morning. He didn't have any trouble falling asleep last night and has seemed to have made the transition just fine.
