So Jaxson arrived in April, but before he came into the world, there was so much to do. I called dibs on his nursery when I first found out his mommy and daddy were pregnant, wanted that job so bad! I immediately started searching for decor, his room needed to be perfect for him. He is definitely the sweetest boy and deserves all we could ever give him - love, time, attention, holding him, caring for him and the world of course!
Having a first grandchild is like no other, he will always be the first. He stole out hearts the moment his grandpop and I set eyes on him, another little someone to carry on the family name. He certainly brought life back into our "almost empty nesters" home. I can't wait until he is running around the backyard, looking for frogs and turtles in the creek and catching lightning bugs like his daddy used to do.
This is his nursery, all complete and waiting for him when he came home. His mommy took him in his room and said he was looking all around, I think he liked it! The room is full of bears, foxes, tee pees, arrows, canoes, trees and adventure.

This is the wall color his mommy picked out, it's called SPA by Behr Paint. It was pulled from one of the colors in the linens for the room.
All his furniture, except the rocker which was a shower gift, came from COSTCO. This is the changing table, nice and big with lots of storage. The bureau came with the changing table top and the changing pad. The tee pee and arrow were purchased at Hobby Lobby, bear head from Target and Explore sign from Marshall's. Gray felt storage containers were purchased at IKEA.
The beautiful rocker matched all the other furniture perfectly. The tee pee clothes hooks are from Hobby Lobby. The pillow is from The Christmas Tree Shop and the blanket from SteinMart, have to keep Jaxson cozy!
I love everything in his room, but my favorite is this bookshelf from Babyletto, shaped like a tree to go with the theme of Outdoor Adventure. Seek Adventure picture is from Target and the Canoe is from Hobby Lobby.
Some of Nonna's favorite books, more will come to fill up all the branches.
Arrow print curtains and coordinating valances are from Sweet JoJo Outdoor Adventure pattern, all from Target (online only).
A chiffarobe with drawers, shelves and a clothes bar. Fox lamp, bear nightlight and felt fox storage basket are all from Target. Be Brave wood plaque from Hobby Lobby.
His crib, love it! I did make one mistake though, I purchased rail guards for front, sides and back. You can not attach one to the back of this type of crib. Tee Pee wall shelf is from Hobby Lobby. Quilted wall hangings were included in the Sweet JoJo linen set. The set also included a comforter, sheet, bolster pillow, crib skirt, diaper stacker, toy bag (under the tee pee shelf) and the window valances. This crib also came with the rails to convert to a youth bed, day bed and a full side bed when he gets older.
Remember the letters from those diaper boxes from his mommy's shower? This is the wall over his crib before I hung them........
This is the wall after I hung them, along with "I love you to the moon and back". His Nonna surely does!
For Jaxson......
Be a little boy for as long as you can, play outside, play in dirt, jump in puddles, catch lightning bugs, catch frogs and turtles, build a fort, read lots of books, run around barefoot, try new things, learn to ride a bike, learn to swim, climb the Bagheera tree, go sledding in the snow, dream big, go on adventures, be kind, be smart.
I LOVE YOU SWEET BOY!
Nonna
