The Rat's Life: Slow Transition

Slowly but surely we have begun the transformation from office/guest room to nursery. This past weekend we got the baby furniture and 'things' out of the attic, and spent some time arranging furniture. It's still very basic and undecorated, but here's a glimpse of what the new baby's room is looking like. These pictures were taken starting from looking in the doorway, and moving around the room to the left.

Pippin (the cat) has staked a temporary claim on this room. She is most often found these days sleeping in or on top of the rocking chair, or curled up in the crib. Thankfully we have no bedding in the crib yet. I do remember both cats taking a fascination with Tori's nursery as well. The closet (behind the rocker) is acting as a temporary storage for the cradle, which will move into our bedroom, and other baby necessities that are yet to have a home. Eventually I think we will add some storage cubes inside the closet for toys and such.

Tori seems to be adjusting alright to the new baby's room. She likes to play with the bouncy seat and turn it on to listen to the ocean. She also likes to sit in the infant car seat with her books and read, or put her baby dolls in and read to them. And she loves to sit in the rocking chair with her books as well. I hope as it gets closer to bringing the baby home, she will transition as smoothly as she's started.

Here are a few cute pictures of our girl from the last few weeks.
