We did blue stripes in the nursery.
And Ladd's new room has an vintage airplane theme. We painted one wall blue and the others tan. I'll post more pictures once I'm closer to being finished with all the finishing touches, but for now I'm satisfied with paint. Doug also enjoyed painting the map on Ladd's wall. I'm so glad I married someone creative because I don't have a creative bone in me.
We also took the plunge yesterday and made Ladd's crib into a toddler bed. We have put a lot of thought into how to help him transition into a normal bed before the baby comes and we usually end up just laughing and giving up before even starting. Ladd did really well last night. He went right to sleep and didn't get out of his bed until 3:30 am when I heard him talking in loft. I rocked him for a couple of minutes and he went right back to bed until 7:45 this morning. I couldn't believe it. This afternoon nap didn't go as smoothly. He's sound asleep in his pack'n'play as I type. I gave up after he tore all his clothes out of his dresser and wouldn't stop yapping or playing with his bedroom door for two hours.
Ladd said his first sentence two weeks ago and no it wasn't "I love you" (which we've been working on) instead he said"Where's your phone?". Almost as daily ritual I have Doug call my cell phone that I have lost in our home sometime during the day. Sometimes I can blame it on Ladd because he loves to walk around jabbering on the phone and making hysterical facial expressions. This sentence was soon followed by "Where's the spoon?". His vocabulary is starting to really take flight as you can see in this video:
He's also taken a sudden interest in babies. Of course he doesn't own any dolls, but he sure has fun with his frog. Warning- this movie is only for grandparents or anyone else wanting to submit themselves to over two minutes of Ladd playing.

So cute (Ladd and the baby bedrooms!)! :) I can't believe Doug painted that map on Ladd's bedroom wall - I'm impressed! How did he get it so perfect? You all are great parents, and I'm excited for you to add another member to your family! :)
I love both rooms. You and Doug are amazing. I can't believe how great both rooms look and that map looks really good. You and Dou are almost as amazing as that grandson of mine. I can't believe all the words he can say now. I especially love the word grandma!! I miss him so much!!!!!
Love MOM Racker

Oh he is adorable! I love both rooms. Tyler is our creative one too, I'm horrible! Miss you!
Ladd is such a good talker. I could understand him perfectly. You'd better watch the new baby for suffication by blankets and books. lol
I LOVE Ladd's room. My husband would die if he saw that, he loves geography. We may have to fly your husband out to paint our son's room when he gets old enough.
