A Sock Monkey and sorts

Travis and I finished putting together the nightstands and managed to fit all of our clothes within our bedroom. We had to pull out a bunch of t-shirts to give away, but we didn't need that many to start with.

I'm a little bummed with the stability of these dressers. They are too tall compared to the depth, leaving them very wobbly. They came with a safety strap to fasten them to the wall, but we need to find a stud to attach them to. First we need to buy a screw for putting into the wall. I'm not sure what we will use. I wish the dresser would have come with that screw. I guess now I cannot sue Ikea if the dresser falls over on my son, when he's learning to crawl. IF I were the type of person to sue for stuff like that, of course.

This shelf is above the built-in dresser in the nursery. I went through my old books from my childhood when I was at my mom's house this Christmas. Most of the books on the bottom shelf are those books. That DAD frame is one of the items I gave Travis as a gift to tell him we were pregnant. I plan to put his first photo with Lil' Wodie in that frame.

Every year for Christmas my dad gives me a gift that was something I played with as a kid: Topple, Old Maid card game, Silly Putty, the book Polar Express and that Candyland game on the shelf. The fun thing about all these gifts is that I can save them for my babies. I'll be able to share something from my childhood with our kids.

Oh, and that Sock Monkey is from David and Stephanie. =D
