Dad & The Giraffe



Sorry for the lack of posts.  My dad came up for a visit and we were busy having way too much fun!  Whenever he comes up to Oregon, we try to hit restaurants showcased on Dinner's Drive in's and Dives.  Have you seen that show?! I think I gained 5 pounds in 3 days.  So worth it though. 
To say the least, my Dad is super excited about becoming a grandpa and brought up a little or should I say  huge present for Collin. 




I had Nixon sit in front of the giraffe to show the scale.  I love it!  It will be such a fun addition to his nursery.  I told my dad I will be calling him when Collin is 2 and wants to bring his giraffe to the grocery store!  I'm sure these things will happen. 
I found some pictures of nurseries that also used a giraff in the decor.

Oh the possibilities in a nursery.  I have found that some of my childhood fantasies have come out while planning for Collin's nursery.  So fun!

Be Well,
Heather

  2. OMG I want to give Nixon a hug! Seriously how freaking cute is he. Pretty sure Mr. Timmy is jealous now so I will stop.

    And that giraffe is dope. They have a few other big sized animals on Amazon as well from Melissa & Doug. I'm considering the Cheetah for my kids room.
