baby james

From the day my dear friend Dana told me she and her husband were pregnant, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the birth of this child as if he was my own nephew. Yesterday, I got to meet their sweet baby James for the first time and he was absolutely perfect. Such a beautiful baby, so happy, not fussy at all, and he wrapped his little hand around my finger the whole time I held him. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Seriously, look how cute he is:

I wanted to do something special for baby James so I made him a bulletin board that picked up on the colors of his nursery. The nursery is very gender neutral with gray-ish walls and a big map on the wall next to his crib. Here’s a picture of it:

So, I made him a board to go above his crib that would pick up on the colors in the map. I chose sage green and tan for the stripes, and then wrote his name in a navy blue.

Instead of hanging it with tulle or ribbon like I usually do, I chose to hang it with rope to make it a little more boy-ish for him.

Here’s a picture of it hanging on my brick wall. If I can convince Dana to take a picture of it hung in the nursery, I’ll be sure to share it with all of you.

Congratulations Dana and Justin, and welcome to the world sweet baby james!
