Babies take time?? Who knew??

And why did I think I would have time to continue to refurbish furniture AND keep a blog about it??

The eBay furniture is still in the garage untouched -- but there is a chance I'll finish the rocker we got BEFORE Jax was born this week. I'll have pictures soon.



In the meantime, Jax has finally discovered he has hands and can grasp things, which hasn't been great for my jewelry. He loves to grab onto necklaces and bracelets while nursing (and the collar of my shirt). So I bought some really cheap wood craft beads and made some "nursing necklaces." Jax can tug and pull and play and I don't have to worry about him breaking something important. He's kind of obsessive about bright and contrasting colors, so that helps, too. And I can wipe them down with a wet cloth, perfect for the obsessive-compulsive mother!
