CORA'S NURSERY: MOVING IN

Well, Cora's nursery is all set up and decorated (pictured above is the sign her Auntie T'in made for her, which perfectly matches her bedding set). The bedding has been washed and ironed. And the second baby monitor we ordered has been installed (currently positioned for a close-up view of her face). I suppose it's time to move Cora out of our room and into her own...
It's one of those bittersweet milestones. I'm going to miss having my baby girl sleeping next to me at night. She really is a wonderful sleeper and rarely wakes me other than for feedings, but I know that moving her before I go back to work next week will make things easier. And moving her while she is still so young will make for an easier transition (for her) than if we wait. Besides, we want to move the Pack-N-Play downstairs for daytime naps now that Cora is outgrowing the basinett setting of the stroller. Hopefully the Pack-N-Play will be a bit of a "safe haven" for Miss Cora too, since James is a big fan of pushing the stroller around the living room and grabbing her toes while she's sleeping...

The vinyl wall art was ordered from a couple of shops on ETSY.com. This tree and owl we found at designedDESIGNER.

These little birds and birdcages were found at Chuck E Byrd Vinyl Wall Art:

All Cora's bows are now displayed and organized on a couple of pretty hanging ribbons (the one on the right came fully-loaded from her Grand Aunt Beverly). The mirror (repurposed from our downstairs bathroom remodel) and shelves were painted by Jean:

And one last look back towards the "door" (er... gate). The string of hearts is from Jenny:
