Lily & Dillon's New Room

But first, a trip down memory lane...here are two nursery pics from before Lily was born (sob, sob)! Can't believe how quickly time goes.

Now for the transformation from a nursery to a co-ed kids room...

No border...

Marshmallow white paint - no more green and yellow...We wanted to keep it neutral since we are trying to sell the house.

Bunk beds!!! We wanted Lily to sleep on the top to get used to it, but she can't do the ladder up and down very easily. She fell off trying to go down it. So, we will try again in a few weeks. We are concerned about Dillon. Not sure how we will keep him from climbing up the ladder. We took the ladder down for now.

We saved some of the border so I could make this photo to keep the animal theme alive :)

Anson did A LOT of work this weekend. He put up the Christmas tree, painted the room, helped me clean the house, he put the bunk beds together, went grocery shopping and he put up outside lights! Lily wanted some pretties on the house. He's the best husband and daddy ever!

The Elf came to our house last night. Lily found him right away. It took Dillon awhile but he saw him too.

Other updates:

• Dillon is quite the time-out boy these days. He gets in trouble for throwing things, pulling Lily's hair and jumping on Sampson. He's in time-out as I write this.
• Lily is still enjoying her dance class. She goes around the house doing her dance moves.
• Dillon is talking a lot more these days. A few weeks ago we took the Binky away from him except for naps and bedtime. He has really been talking more without it in his mouth all day. He says mama, dada, sissy, nana, papa, puppy, baby, tree, vroom (for car), ba-bye, hi, and various other words that sound like he trying to talk. He can follow instructions too. Like if we tell him to throw something away or put a dish in the sink. Our baby boy is growing up!
• We decided on a name for the baby - Lacy!
• Lily is really excited for the baby to come. She always says she's going to teach Lacy how to walk, talk, dance and do various other things. She's the mothering type.
• Four day weekend is over. Back to work tomorrow!
