A couple of weeks ago Luke was ready to leave for work and Alyssa and I walked him to the front door.  We sometimes wave to him from the big picture window.  Well this particular morning we were all shocked to see 2 deer in our front yard! 

I imagine the deer entered our street from the neighbor’s house at the end of the street 2 doors down.  Their backyard is gigantic and has a small stream flowing through it.

I forgot to blog about it before, but I was reminded this evening because as we came home about 8pm those same deer were in the street at the end of our driveway!  So crazy.  Oh yeah and it snowed again today.  Craziness!

The hand me down process has begun.

Crib: Presto-Chango

I love his new bedding and his mobile, but I’m thinking about taking the mobile back.  I think he’s probably already outgrown the need for a mobile.  It was an impulse buy because it’s so cute.

My friend Rebeccah made this quilt for him…I love it!  (Thank you!!)

The first time I laid him on the fuzzy side of the quilt, welts broke out all over his face, but I washed his face off and they went away pretty quickly.  I’ve washed the quilt a couple of times now and it’s fine now…thank goodness. :)  He has pretty sensitive skin.  I recently tried using scented Downy and he broke out with that too, so I’ll have to stay with my sensitive detergent/softeners for now.

Alyssa has asked “UP PLEASE!” to get into the crib, but we just remind her that it’s Evan’s turn to be in the crib and she has her own bed.  She doesn’t like the bumper because she can’t see into the crib.  With the pack and play she was just barely tall enough to see in.  I imagine she’ll find a creative way to climb up to see into his crib soon enough.
