A little video of Cian almost walking...

I am sleeping in my closet these days

For Christmas, Brian and I gave each other the best present... the present of organized closets. 

I know, its very sentimental and romantic! Don't care, it was the best present ever. I love our new closets! Every time I walk into my new closet, I smile and feel like I'm in a little clothing store. Plus, its very impressive my hubby did both closets in a weekend and did such a great job! We won't mention the 600+ screws he had to screw in by hand and how many weeks his hand hurt... 

Here is my closet "before". It was a disaster!

How can someone so anal about organization have a closet like this??

Clothes everywhere, the floor covered. I couldn't find anything!

Oh look, I found our cat!!!



The view of my closet from our bedroom. The door was always closed!

Before: The right wall of my closet

Before: The back wall

Before: The left wall

I totally screwed up and forgot to take before shots of Brian's closet before he started dismantling it. Fail! His closet was more organized that mine and even though our closets are the same size he has a little less space since he has door on his back wall, leading to the unfinished room.

Here is the right wall and back wall of Brian's closet once
he removed his clothes and the white wire shelving/racks.
That's the door to the unfinished room.

Here is the left side of Brian's closet. I realized my lack of before pics
as he was taking down the white shelving...

The view of Brian's closet from the unfinished room.

This is what we came home to one night... 70 boxes sitting on our front porch!

70 HEAVY boxes!

Holes patched, trim and walls painted the

11 months old!

Cian turned 11 months old on Sunday, January 13th. Only one more month until he is a year old. Wow!

What can we say about our little boy that we don't say all the time- he is awesome. We just eat him up. He is getting a funny little personality that we just love to watch. He loves to chase the cats, even though he giggles so much the cats have plenty of warning to run away. He loves eating table food and lets you know when he is done by dropping a piece on the floor. He would spend hours in the bath if you let him but hates getting dressed for bed. Balls are his favorite things in the world and he is pretty good at throwing you a ball.

He is always on the move and now loves to crawl up the stairs. Aunt Leslie taught him this at Christmas but Cian didn't realize this was fun until his little friend Reese showed him.
