Seth's newly painted room

Well Seth no longer has a sunshine yellow colored room! =) (at least it wasn't gloomy! ;))  We painted his room the first weekend in Dec. and Kyle experimented with putting up chair rail, which I think he did a great job! Now I think I have him convinced that he should do that in the baby's room also! (We haven't started painting that room yet... )

When the baby gets here, Seth will be saying good bye to the rocking chair and changing table.  (I think the rocking chair could pose a jealousy problem... that's his "comfort" when he's sick, tired, or just wants to cuddle up and read a book.) Sometimes if he isn't feeling well and wakes up crying in the night, the first thing he says when I come in the room is "rocking chair."  He quiets down right away if I sit in there and rock him.  sniff.. I'm going to miss that =)  The good thing is, we just ordered a rocking chair for the family room, so at least there will be another "rocker" in the house if needed in the middle of the night ;)

I can't wait till we actually have a bookshelf and night stand in his room (and some wall decor for the big empty walls), but I do love the new colors!

The green blanket is so his head doesn't get stuck underneath the rail again. He started crying really loud all of a sudden one night, and sure enough, he was stuck!  We usually have another really big blanket stuffed in there as well, but I took it out for the picture b/c it's blue and neon yellow... haha 

Now for the baby's room, I'd like to do a gray color on the bottom, white chair rail in the middle, and a light purple on top (if it's a girl), but if it's a boy, I don't know what color to paint on top, since I don't want to do blue again. It'd be nice if we could have the bottom half painted and the chair rail put up before he/she is born, and then just paint the top when we know the gender... =)  It would also be nice to start buying some newborn clothes on sale.... but I know the surprise will be worth it! ;)
