Rockets

We have a lot of blank white walls in our apartment. The living room, the dining room (they are kind of the same big room so we will just count that as one room) and the boys bedroom. The beds have tons of great color with the rocket ship inspired bedding in the crib and from the quilt. And they have a really fun red bookcase and matching shelf, but the walls needed some help.

Here is what I came up with:

I took two small canvases (12x14 inches) and painted their names and rockets from the bedding. I love how they turned out. Avery is so proud of them! He tells me which one is his and which one is Bakers a couple of times a day.

Im glad Avery likes them, I like them too!

Happy Halloween!

We have really tapped into our creative side over here! Avery has developed a love of paints just like his Mama. Although he prefers to "paint the water" rather than the paper but we are working on it. Oh and I don't usually paint topless either-we didnt want any stains! He had a great time and he painted every page in that book! Good job Avery!

Portrait of a Baby

Avery at Shenandoah National Park. This was my first attempt at a portrait. I am happy with how it turned out and have more in the works! (this photo looks a little washed out compared to the real thing)
