Owen's New Room

Technically, it isn't a *new* room per se, but he got some new bedding, and we added some new pictures to his animal-themed room. Here is his reading area, complete with lion rug, giraffe bean bag, tub of books, and hamper full of laundry. Hey, I'm just keeping it real, folks!



This is a picture that O got from his Grandma Smith for Christmas. It pretty much sums up our little guy!



The elephant coat hanger! We now have baby bath robes hanging on it, and he insists on wearing them, even though they don't even close around his tummy. And as a strange side note, he is obsessed with elephants, but he can't say the word! He calls them "ell-doos." I have no idea where he got that!! But it is pretty cute!



Here is a dolphin picture that Chris's grandma made. It is O's favorite picture! You can also see his faux fish tank, his turtle that projects stars on the ceiling (thanks for that, Goekes!), and his rocket ship full of stuffed animals. I have an addiction to buying him those $5 stuffed animals at Kohls...they are so cheap, and he gets SUPER excited when he gets a new one. I would say that $5 is a small price to pay to see him freak out over a stuffed toy!



And here is his new animal bedding. We were at Target one snowy Sunday, and I was feeling guilty because we had just purchased new bedding for Baby Boy the day before. So I told Chris that Owen needed new bedding...and Chris gently reminded me that the new bedding that the baby gets will be one of the only new things that he gets for a while, since he will be living with Owen's hand-me-downs. But, the mom-guilt prevailed, and we saw this bedding set, and it by chance happened to match his rug and bean bag that we already had for him. It was meant to be! He loves his new bed, and he sleeps SO well in it!
