My first baby boy nursery...

After lots of hard work, it's such a fun reward for me to show you the nursery! Who knew that switching Ruby's gender neutral room, with the same bedding, and a few tweaks here and there would take so many hours to put together? But like I said...it was all worth it. Until he is old enough to begin destroying his room like kids eventually do...I shall walk past it and stop and stare and smile..because it is for sure the cutest room in the house!








Can you tell how tiny that little onesie is??






We'll be calling him Henry at first most likely...
but this is a four post hanger...perfect for Ruby and Hank too:)

Isn't it only fitting that his bedroom is the only one in the house with a view of our neighborhood cows? :)




My grandma rocked her five babies in this exact chair! When I had Daphne she had the wicker re-caned (sp?) and gave it to me as a gift. What a joy it will be for me to say I rocked all four of mine in it too!!
At my shower my cousin Jill's mom, Kathi blessed us with I think five pairs of the cutest baby boy shoes ever! With a few hand me down pairs and a couple other gifts, I think this son of mine has more shoes than his sisters did as an infant. Don't tell the girls!

I like to stare at this too...it probably won't stay so organized.

Jill, who is having her baby girl the very day before our baby is set to arrive...made this cute quilt for him and I!!! Can you believe my surprise that she was able to summon up the energy for such a labor of love?? Love you Jill!




The girls are already arranging his toys...Maisie was tickled that the horse was riding the duck!



Be still my heart....

Very cute, Stef. I loved how sweet and attentive Maisie was with Lincoln tonight. She's going to love having a baby brother!

It's so adorable! My nephews name is Hank, love the name! His isn't short for Henry, but both names are so cute I think!

The cutest boys room I have ever seen. I love the border in the middle. Did you paint that? I adore every inch of it. I hope things are going well, and can't wait to see pictures of him!

Hi, again.

I just wanted you to know that Grandma Barbara Miller wanted you to know
that my Great Grandmother, Etta, really was named Henryetta. Mom thought
that Henry is a very good name for our little Riddle boy!! Congrats!!

Mom

PS--Great Grandma had two sisters who called her HANK!! I guess that she didn't
like it, but Mom Grandma Etta would have been so happy to have little Henry Hank Riddle
take that name on as his very special name.
