Here’s a newsflash: it’s not easy to run out on a quick shopping trip with a one-month-old guy following you around.

So Weston, it’s definitely your fault that your nursery has stalled out at “good enough for now,” and might not get to “completely finished” for some time.

But here it is for now:

See that little speck on the wall, above and to the left of the pictures? That’s this guy, which my mom drew:

These are Weston’s little owl and turtle pals, who will hang out with him during his nap time… when he finally starts using this room.


That picture between the windows, which you cannot hope to see in this photo, is another little owl playing drums. I hope someday Weston rocks out on the drums like his mom used to, except much better than I ever did. Because what I used to do on the drums probably doesn’t even qualify as rocking out. If I could’ve found a photo of an owl pole vaulting (like Andy used to do), I would’ve been all over that too.

Below that is a little mushroom mural. Andy is concerned this will lead to Weston being a little TOO into mushrooms someday, but I say let’s cross that bridge when we come to it.

Someday, the glider will also have a super cute side table and lamp, and above the dresser will be a little collage of frames which Andy is currently building.

Here’s a shot of the little guy enjoying his room:

By the way, will you PLEASE look at that tiny owl pillow that’s sitting next to him? Have you ever seen anything cuter, ever? (Aside from the baby?) Seriously you guys. Seriously.

And doing a little light reading from his glider:
