Week 18: Cribs, bedding sets and grandparents

Week 18 down 22 more to go!

Our little pickle is about 8 inches long and weighs a little more than five ounces.

Other new developments: the baby is now conscious of noises from the outside world and the sense of sight is evolving as well. Other skills baby's showing off: yawning, swallowing, sucking, hiccuping, and making faces.



Google image search came up with this pict for baby yawning and it was too cute to not post... even though we hope our baby will be much less hairy. 

We hung out this week with Owen's grandparents, Granddad and Granboddy, that were visiting from New Mexico. Here are some highlights.

Granddad bought the baby a stuffed animal - as his tradition goes. We named this soft kitty Mr. Tom after one of their favorite cats.

And Granboddy handmade us a Raggedy Ann and Andy doll. Awww. Sweet.

We also did a bit of crib shopping. Here are a few of our favorite crib styles. Once we decide on the crib one of the hardest decisions is to go with cherry to match the rest of the house or white. We may lean towards the white since we can paint my baby furniture white and because it would look great against the new cherry hardwood floors.

We also found a few beddings sets we really like. One of our favorites, for a girl is this unique set by Cocalo Couture.

One of my favorite elements is the mobile with these great little birds - which I am sorta' obsessed with right now.
