What Little Boys Are Made Of

Welcome to the second full week of this brand spankin' new year. I hope it has been treating you fantastically so far. Last week was a happy one for me, but the absolute best part is that it was full of little things that added up to me getting very excited to welcome this baby boy into the world in eight short weeks (give or take, of course).

I have a tiny confession to make: when I found out we were having a boy this time around, I definitely felt some trepidation. I grew up in a girlie household and then had a baby girl myself. Boys just felt so, well, foreign--until last week, that is. It wasn't anything specific, but rather a bunch of small things that made me realize that little boys are kind of awesome and that a bit of boy energy is going to be an amazing addition to our household. Here are a few things that for whatever reason make me think of my little guy (not to say that girls can't enjoy these things just as much).

Newspaper boats fabric by Heather Ross (I have big plans to make bedding out of this)

Everything by Coral and Tusk makes me grin, including these Ship in a Bottle and Tugboat pillows

This video of Big Jet Plane by Angus & Julia Stone makes me picture our family with a girl and boy.

Thanks, Nina. I'll consider myself lucky if our little guy is anything like Liam.
