Ava Hayes' Nursery!

I finally got all the finishing touches for Ava Hayes' room all done.  Since she decided to be born 7 weeks early, I had to finish putting her room together inbetween taking care of her, which took awhile.  But it is finally done and I am sooooo excited and proud of it.  The theme is a sweets shop, so it is filled with ice cream, cupcakes, and candy.

This is the view of her nursery from her bedroom door.

Here is her dresser, which use to be in my room when I was alittle girl.

 This is the mirror above her dresser.  I got many of my friends to each buy a different flavor of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and after eating it, they signed a sweet note and their name on it.  I then hot glued them on the mirror.  This is probably my favorite part of her room.

 The counter of her dresser.

These are the fun knobs on her dresser.

 Candy Cane chair our sweet family friend Mrs. Lowry gave us.

 Fun cupcake sign.

 This is the menu above her crib that I painted.  You can't read the flavors from this picture, but they are all baby themed names.

 This is her mobile that my Grandmother made her.

 Here is her crib, which my grandmother sewed.

 Here is what all the bumpers look like.  The yellow fabric has sprinkles all over it and the blue has different desserts on it.

 This is the adorable quilt my grandmother made for her.  I love the bunny eating an ice cream cone.

 Here is her book shelf with her name at the top.  The "s" at the end of her name fell off and I need to put it back up.  I guess my hot glue gun skills aren't as good as I thought. The doors at the bottom were painted by my good friend Lauren Harris who is an amazing artist.

 Here is her changing table with fun candy jars on it.

 This is an old window that I painted pink and I put window paint on it to make it look like the store windom.  It is above her changing table.

 There is a very short hallway to Ava Hayes' room, so I put these up to look like an entrance of a store.

Here is her rocking chair, the fun pictures on the wall that a friend made, and the window treatment that my grandmother also sewed.  The rocking chair was a gift from my grandmother and PaPa and we absolutely love it.

 Here side table.

The lamp shade that her Honey (my mom) made with the same sprinkle material used on her bedding.

 By her sink in the bathroom.

 Her bathroom, not much candy inspired-ness in here, but there is two little candy jars by the window.

 Her fun knobs in her bathroom that her Gram (Frank's mom) bought her.

So glad I'm finally finished with it and I absolutely love how it turned out.

Introduction!

I am excited to be in the blogger world now.  I don't know how good I will be at it, but hopefully I will be able to remember to not procrastinate making post.  I am sure I will have PLENTY of material to post about our family.

This is my daughter Ava Hayes and yes it is a double name. : ) In this picture she is wearing rain boots that are a toddler size and WAY too big for her which she thought was hilarious.  She is 6 months old as of last Saturday and is the joy of our lives. She has just mastered the art of rolling over from her tummy to her back, so she never stays on her tummy for more than a few seconds now.  She also has just started eating rice cereal and most of it ends up on our faces from her spitting it back at us.  Her dad took her to the doctor today for her six month check up and she weighs 13.8 pounds and is 26 inches long and has a head circumference of 16.1 inhes.

This is Frank, my husband, and I at our wedding last summer.  We don't have as interesting of stories as Ava Hayes' though.  We are both students at Auburn University.  He is majoring in Pre-dentistry and I am majoring in Business Marketing.

That is the basics of our family!!
