watch it wednesdays: more crawling

April 12, 2012

Yes, this Wednesday series is being posted on Thursday this week. Oops!

So Levi has been working hard on his crawl in New Jersey these past couple of days. With the encouragement of his extended family, he’s been trying to improve his form, practicing getting up on all fours rather than inch worming, swimming and rolling across the floor. After all, as a nine month old (omg, my baby is 9 months old today!), it’s time he starts cruising a bit more gracefully!

Side note: Does anybody want to music direct my home movies? Seriously, I feel like I’m so bad at picking the soundtracks to these short little videos!

Meanwhile, a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to answer my quick blog survey. If you haven’t done so yet, I encourage you to take this anonymous 10-question survey. The results will help me improve my blog content as I work on redesigning Bunny & Dolly. I’m so excited!

I can’t believe that Levi will be turning nine months old this week and I still haven’t shared pictures of his nursery on the blog. It’s because his bedroom doesn’t quite feel finished to me. Despite being painted with oversize stripes, the big empty wall behind his crib makes the room look unfinished to me.

My original plan was to hang the Multi-Birds Mobile by blabla above his crib. I thought a colorful knitted mobile would be enough decoration in that corner of the room. Unfortunately, it’s been on backorder for over a year, and I haven’t found another mobile to hang instead (truthfully, I haven’t been looking very hard).

So now I’m looking for a large poster or print to hang on the wall because Levi probably doesn’t need a mobile anymore. I recently discovered Poster Caberet, which has an extensive collection of kid-friendly artwork, many by talented indie artists. Here are a couple of my favorites for a nursery or a playroom.… READ MORE!

Bunny & Dolly is getting a makeover! As I prepare to make some exciting changes, I’d love to know what you currently like and dislike about the blog.

Would you kindly click this link and answer a quick 10-question survey? It would really help me as I plan the new-and-improved Bunny & Dolly. I will keep the survey open until Friday, April 13th.

thumbsucker + friday favorites

April 6, 2012

I caught Levi sticking his thumb in his mouth this week, something he’s never really done before. It mostly occurred in between bites during mealtimes, although I did catch him in the act a couple of random times throughout the day. Could I have a future thumb-sucker on my hands? Or is this new behavior possibly related to teething?

In other news… Happy Passover and Happy Easter! I’m SO looking forward to spending time with friends and family over the next couple of days. Will you be celebrating the holidays with family this weekend?

Here are some of my favorite posts from around the web:

What to do if you have 36 hours in Omaha

Favorite Easter candies

I desperately want a photo of Levi’s tush like the one in this post

Who knew macaroons were so easy to make? (No, not the fancy French kind!)

Maybe I’ll wash ’em down with a tall glass of cold-brewed iced coffee.

Would you rather spend your money on weekend getaway or on a new couch?
