Tree-mendous!

And I don't mean my belly! Although that is getting pretty big these days as well. What the title refers to is the awesome wall decal Todd and I put up in Super Tiny's nursery this weekend.

I have had this vision of adding some type of white tree decal to the darker gray accent wall in the baby's room, and after much searching online I finally found the perfect one! I ordered it off of an Etsy.com shop called "Little Lion Studios", and I couldn't be more pleased!

Below you can see how the decal arrived. And after slicing, dicing, and applying, you can witness the final product in all its glory. What do you think?

The Star of Christmas

Our nephew Brayden was the star of Christmas this year. It was so fun for Todd and I to spend a few days in a row with him and get to witness his little personality first hand. We also got a chance to test out our new Sony Bloggie camera on the little super star. Here are a few clips below!

"Camera Intrigue"



Although he hasn't quite taken to "using his words" yet, you can see from the video below that he is quite the speed reader.

"Power Reading"

26 weeks

Baby boy Sarbaugh continues to grow! We all had a wonderful Christmas and holiday week in Crystal Lake. Super Tiny got showered with gifts and loved every minute of being around people. I have never felt him move so much! I am really starting to think we are going to have quite the social butterfly on our hands once he is born.

At 26 weeks I read that Super Tiny is the size of an eggplant, and is starting to open and close his eyes in there. We are also officially under the 100 day mark! April 5th is getting so close!

Last "Just the 2 of Us" Christmas

Todd and I have an annual tradition of doing our own "little Christmas" before we head back to spend the actual holiday with our families.

The tradition is pretty simple, we play Christmas music, light Christmas scented candles, and exchange gifts and stockings. This year we added a hot beverage and cookie element, atop seasonal plates.

Even though it's still just the two of us, we couldn't resist including the Super Tiny on the action. As you can see, he made out pretty well for himself. I can only imagine what Christmas will be like next year!

Nursery WIP

Our nursery has been a work in progress for weeks! Todd has made great progress. The freshly painted gray walls, assembled crib and dresser are all the handiwork of Papa Sarbaugh.

The zigzag rug and yet-to-be-hung screen prints, on the other hand, were all me :)

Next on the to-do list includes putting together the bookshelf, having Babies R' Us ship our rocking chair, and ordering some cute (but not too "cutesy") wall decal.

More pictures to come as our Super Tiny masterpiece comes together!

Ch-ch-ch-chia!

Todd and I have been documenting my belly growth about every 2 weeks. It's crazy to look back and see how much the bump has grown!

This is almost as cool as time lapse photography...

A glimpse into my future.

This past Saturday I got to wake up bright and early and go cheer on Todd's basketball team in a tournament in the 'burbs. The little 8th graders were hilarious and adorable all at the same time. It was definitely something to realize that one day, little Super Tiny will likely be active in sports, and our weekends will be full of tournaments, practices, and games. Freaky!
