More Fabric

I finally have a set theme for the baby's fabric! I have my main fabric and some supplementary, although I'm undecided as to which I will use for sure! Check them out!

This is almost exactly what I was envisioning when I first started thinking of the room as a girl's room...I love these colors! And with our black furniture and tan walls...

Here are some of the other top contenders that complement this fabric.

I guess I really like the greens...I have to narrow those down to just a few. I love all of them though! It's gonna be hard!

I'm also trying to figure out how I want to use these. I plan to use all the ones I choose in the bumper, and I'm debating on the bedskirt. I'm also thinking of framing them as wall art...

Other ideas? Thoughts on which ones to choose?

Baby's Room

Even though I won't be able to decorate the baby's room until Matthew leaves, I am starting to think of what I want it to look like. There are so many options! I am going to make my own bedding, like I did with Niah's room, but I can't decide on one theme. Here are some choices I am looking at. www.hawthornethreads.com is where I've been searching. They have so many different fabrics and you can click on a color and they give you all the coordinating fabrics. I was thinking of doing more plums with the green, black furniture and tan walls...thoughts?

It's Potty Time!

We've had the "big girl" potty in our guest bathroom for months now. Niah has been fairly interested in it, but mostly as a place to stand :). She sometimes carries it in pieces around the house, and sits on it when someone else is going potty. But last Monday we were at Kyle's brother's house and their daughter used the potty for the first time. Then Tuesday Jaime posted a Facebook status that MJ had pooped on the potty. Out of excitement I told Kyle and Niah heard and kept saying, "Mimi poopoo potty?" Next thing we knew she was in the bathroom wanting to go on the potty. So Kyle took off her diaper and let her sit there, but nothing. We decided to let her run around diaperless for a while and sure enough she said, "Potty again" and ran to the bathroom. Neither of us followed just thinking she'd play in there, but she came out after a couple minutes asking for her pants to be back on. Kyle looked and her bum was wet! He ran in and she had tinkled in the potty!! We are at the beginning stages of potty training. She sat down and immediately went again yesterday. I guess it's time to train myself on how to train my kid to potty in the toilet...I have NO idea what I am doing! I'd love to only have one child in diapers at a time!! I realize baby #2 comes in just a few months, but maybe not long after Niah will be in panties!! Here's Niah after we discovered she had peed in the toilet!
