I have been spending a lot of time in the nursery this week. A lot. The munchkin is teething
and has a cold
and has a habit of climbing to a standing position the second he opens his eyes. It's pretty amazing how quickly he gets up there and I'm pretty sure he's confused about why he's standing once he fully wakes up.

Oh heeeyy Buddy! |
Needless to say, lots of late nights rocking and staring at the wall (or my little man who is an adorable mouth-breather at the moment). One of my favorite elements of the nursery are the baby elephant prints I ordered from
Trafalgar's Square on
Etsy.
I just think they are so sweet. I found them long before I was even married. I remember thinking I would use them in my nursery someday. It's sort of surreal that "someday" is now. But really, how sweet is this little guy?
If I ever write a children's book (which I would love to do someday), they would have to be my illustrators. Note:
The Suze only likes children's books with "sweet illustrations." "Make sure there are sweet pictures and take note of the illustrator," she says. Perhaps her penchant for aesthetically appealing children's books is why I only like to look at pretty things now.
Anyway,
Trafalgar's Square has a number of new prints and characters and they are all so adorable. Here are some of my favorites:
They also have
Trafalgar's Paper Co, which has notecards, invitations and bookplates. I think I may use the last image for Edward's first birthday invitation. His favorite toy is
Sophie the Giraffe and he loves anything red so this would be perfect. I can't believe I'm already thinking about that!
