Fun Baby Crafts and things...

Lately I've been trying to get the finishing touches done on things for the nursery. These baskets are my latest project. I was able to find the baskets for a really good price at Babies R Us and then I made the covers for them to match Braiden's room. Once I figured out a good pattern they were pretty easy to make! I'm going to use them as storage for socks and things on under his changing table. It's fun to buy things but a lot of times for me it's even more fun to make them yourself! : )

The bassinet that we are going to be using for the first little while was for my Aunt Nanette. It's the same one that my mom used for all of us kids, and Nanette used it for Ethan and Logan. Now it's Braiden's turn. We had to make a new mattress for it but other than that it's in pretty good condition. My mom showed me how to make this cover for it. Now all I need is my little boy to put in it.

This last weekend I went on a little trip with my parents to Idaho to visit my Grandparents. It was a lot of fun, and my Mom and I were even able to squeeze a little shopping in to the trip. I was on a hunt for the perfect baby crib set, but didn't have any luck. But I did find plenty of other cute things. These are my favorite!...

We'd only been in Babies R Us for two seconds, when we

saw this bib on a rack. I immediately put it in the cart. It was

one of Aaron's favorite things that I bought (imagine that :)

There is no way that I could have passed up this

little sweater. The lady at the store said that she likes to call

them "Mr. Rogers' sweaters". So Cute!

A little hat : ) He'll look just like Daddy in it.

My Mom and I weren't too impressed with the Osh Cosh

store we went into, but I did find this cute white church shirt

onsie and I couldn't resist. : )

Up until this point I hadn't bought any shoes. Partly because it was the only thing I resisted buying before we knew if we were having a boy or a girl, and partly because it always seems like the boy section is so much smaller than the girl. But not at these stores!!! Shoes may seem kind of a pointless thing before your kid can even walk...but I'm a sucker for cuteness and there was no way I could pass these up!
