Tending to My Nest III

Little Miss will have been in our lives for 7 months tomorrow.  While it was a tough transition with this precious little stranger, she brings a balance to our family that completes us.  She is by far, the most mellow and inquisitive baby.  She can entertain herself while we go out to eat by studying her surroundings or being mesmerized by whatever item I've given her. When she's bored of that, she's perfectly content just sitting on your lap. She reminds me of Jude when he was a year old and had such a stoic personality, the photographer that inspired me to get back in the game, took note of his disposition on her blog.  It will be fun to see how she evolves over the years.

I took a quick snapshot with my IPhone but I thought this was such a great representation of Little Miss.

Her room seems to compliment her personality.  It's soft, delicate, and cheery.  There are also subtle touches that encourage you to take in your surroundings while not overwhelming you.    

I've added a couple of touches to her nursery, one for practical reasons, the other for aesthetics.  I am currently looking for a jewelry box that I can store her flower head bands that I swore I would never have her wear.  I'll continue to add more elements as she grows and take away some as her hands and feet catch up with her inquisitive mind.

I found these Pottery Barn black out curtains above on a buy/sell/trade site on FB.  While I got them for a quarter of the price, you can find similar ones at Pottery Barn Kids

 

I believe this element was the missing piece to her nursery decor.  I originally envisioned the branches alone framing the crib but adding this custom made mobile from TinyGoldenArrows brought it all together.
