names

When having a baby, picking out a name can be a daunting task. Is it too popular? Do I like others of that name? Is it a name? Will I get sick of it in 5 years- or 2 months? Will he get teased? ...and the list goes on. I am very happy that I decided that I would let Ryan name our first boy. If it were up to me, his name would have been Oliver or Henry. Oliver is just a little wierd and Henry is becoming too popular for my taste. Dennis is a perfect name for our little guy.

After picking out a name, my next task was to put wooden letters of his name above his crib... a project that just didn't get done. I finally was inspired enough to make a different kind of sign for Dennis- more of a banner. Inspiration came from that same friend that makes the reusable snack bags. My version of the banner isn't perfect but its cute.

and now I can say that that project is done!

I think 'Dennis' is perfect. I do know a couple of people who chose Oliver too. Not too weird. :)

i love the banner! i saw a link to one very similar, maybe it was on your blog? very cute.

question: is it a possibility to get the patterns for the quiet books you made? if it's a hassle or would take very much time then i can go another route. i just thought yours was so cute and desperately need something to occupy grace at church.

my email is mells7@hotmail.com
