Scott's nursery and first public outing

When Scott was just 8 days old, Mike and I took him on his first public outing (not including medical related trips). We had some newborn portraits taken of him at the Target Portrait studio. He was a perfect angel for the photographer--asleep the whole time!

Below are just some snapshots I took of Scott and one with him and his Papa. They spend lots of time together in Mike's recliner. Since I'm not an experienced blogger, one picture is sideways because I couldn't figure out how to get it rotated.

Below are pics of Scott's nursery...

We love his crib given to us by his great Mema and Pawpaw. The tree in the corner is a paper mache' (not sure if this spelling is correct and too tired to look it up) creation that I spent many hours on. It was much more labor intensive and messy than I ever imagined it to be.

Fortunately, two days before I went into labor my mom and Aunt Denise came to help me finish decorating and organizing Scott's nursery. Denise worked on painting the tree and putting in the greenery. She did a wonderful job--it totally makes the nursery!

Because Scott was a week early, I was only able to finish one of the three painted canvases that will hang as a mural across the wall. I chose to paint canvases so we can take them when we build our house.

This furniture actually belonged to my great-grandmother, and even though it doesn't exactly look like baby furniture--it works!
