Peek-A-Boo

     So...Malachi started doing the cutest thing yesterday. He is actually playing Peek-A-Boo himself. The only downside to the cutest discovery is that he now does it repetitively (as all children do). If I do not say, "Where is Malachi?" then he will continue to leave his hands there or get agitated with me. Gotta love children! Also,  he has been playing more independently lately which is nice to be able to get a few things done around the house while he plays.

Playing with Catch-Me-Kitty

   Marc has been on spring break the last few days and will continue through next week. He has the luxury of staying home with our sweet boy so he takes lots of pictures for me while I'm at work. He is also starting the nursery. In just a few short days he has gotten so much accomplished. But that is coming later in the blog.
   We are almost at the point where we can say that Malachi is walking without falling even though he does try to pay attention to everything else around him and will fall from time to time. Now, we have noticed in the last few days that he is starting to pick himself up. He use to crawl to the closest thing where he could pick himself from.

    This picture made me laugh so I decided to share it. I think he is trying to chase after the cat, but it looks as if he is dancing and doing some type of cross step.

 Now, on to the nursery. We had decided from the get go that we would be doing a neutral theme for the babies nursery no matter if it was a boy or a girl (even though I had a feeling it was a girl). We had tons of stuff that was already Fisherprice Rainforest themed and we like it so we went with it. Deciding on the colors was the hardest thing. Here is a few pictures of the room before we got started painting (or I should say before Marc got started painting).

    You can see that it is really plain, but it is amazing how it transforms with just a few basic colors. We haven't gotten the crib yet nor can we afford it, but we are thinking of going with white or a light oak this time around.

 We decided to split the room in half so that way the animals and trees would not have to be as big and it would be a little less work. The top is blue so that way it looks like a sky. The bottom is a fun green and the middle (where you see the tape) is going to be a darker green. The border will be the last thing that is done.

    Here is what it looks like now that the green is on the bottom. Already coming along and it has only been a few days. He has a few things drawn on the other side, but he is being a perfectionist and can't decide whether or not he likes it. I decided to wait until tomorrow to see if it gets painted over.
   If you know anyone that has done the rainforest theme and has anything they would like to donate or have us buy off them for cheap let us know. We have a highchair, jumperoo, bouncer, travel booster, and the bumper. Alright, I think that is good for now. To sign off for today here is a picture of the handsome dad hard at work (or taking a break from his work). Remind you this was probably taken at around 2 in the morning.

He is really proud of his work!
