these are some super cute teething rings from Koukku, don’t you agree?  I think I’d buy our little man a few different colors because of course I can’t decide on just one.

I’ve spotted that I want for the baby room, you know… for the baby of course.

and psst… 10 things I’m NOT going to miss about being pregnant.

sometimes I feel like a blogger cliche with how often I post about stripes.  but I just can’t help myself.  I love stripes!  besides, tiny stripes for baby?  seriously… what could be any cuter?

lots of cute stripes at nature baby

I’ve only just begun to break ground in crocheting, but naturally I want to try my hand at knitting too.  so that I could make an entire shelf of safari friends for our little man, of course.

I think I’d have a hard time not dressing a little girl in blue or grey {or black for that matter} especially when I look into my closet and realize that’s most of what I own.

also, it’s probably a good thing there isn’t a Zara located anywhere near me.  the little things from Zara mini are so cute it hurts!

we’ve started working on a little collection of books for our little man.  Levi and I went through a list of books we remembered as kids that we especially loved but I’m clueless as to what’s out there that’s new and wonderful for babies.  tell me friends, what are some books you’d recommend?  I’d love to hear!

last night Levi and I watched The Happiest Baby on the Block.  it’s been in my queue of videos to watch for awhile now but we’d want to wait until I was a little closer to my guess date to watch it.  in short – it was incredible.  at times we found ourselves both staring a the screen, mouths open wide, in awe that calming a fussy baby seems SO easy if you know the right steps.  this morning we quizzed each other on the 5 S’s while enjoying our peaceful morning* in bed.  I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t already.  the tips really seem like no brainers once you see them, but with everything else about a newborn, it’s all so new.

{*every morning during the week I set my alarm to 6:15.  I immediatly turn it off without snoozing and continue to lay in bed until 7 while thinking about my day ahead but mostly I enjoy feeling the little man stretching and waking up too.  I enjoy every second of that time of peace because I know I won’t have again for a very long time.}
