The neighborhood girls plus our honorary neighbor Rachel! Jen (on the far right in front), had their new baby girl Samantha 4 days before this picture was taken (congrats Matt and Jen!)! I know, I know. It's rude for someone to look that good after having a baby. First, don't expect this from me...and second, don't expect me to stand next to Jen for a few months.
Are those Sweet Binney's petit fours? YES. Thank you Kate!! For more on my obsession with these yummy little nuggets, refer to the family baby shower post.
At the neighborhood Christmas party, everyone placed their bets on the DeWall and Phillips' babies. We have a winner for the DeWall game and have eliminated several contenders shown below...
In other preparation news, the nursery is really close to being finished! I'd like to add some shelves on either side of the window, but for all means and purposes, we are basically there! See below for Charlie's room:
I finally wrote on the chalkboard... :)
Finally, on Friday evening I decided I needed a little downtime on the couch. Bridget decided she needed some downtime, too and fell asleep snuggling Charlie:
Life is good (for now) as a Phillips' puppy.
In other Phillips' family news, Alicia (aka Aunt Lulu) has officially begun her service in the Peace Corps in Fiji! She left Arkansas on Monday (which resulted in some major tears from Cy's mom) and her group left Los Angeles last night. We can't wait to hear more about her awesome island adventures! If you're interested, check out her blog: aliciapc.wordpress.com. As if that isn't enough from Cy's over-achieving siblings, Vill also graduated from Airborne school last week and is officially making his way to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Benning...as a winter Ranger no less. We are super proud of both of them!
Until next time!

Meighs.....all I can say is that you are just FANTASTIC! This was my favorite statement: "I know, I know. It's rude for someone to look that good after having a baby."
TRUST ME; I'm your older brother and can tell you that you will drop it in 30 seconds after you have Charlie knowing your metabolism!! =) The nursery looks perfect and I can't wait to baby sit and cuddle with Charlie in that big chair before bedtime! This blog has equally been amazing, creative and entertaining. I can't wait & am completety, totally and utterly excited to meet my first nephew Charlie, it may be sooner than we think! I love you & Cy very much and I am so proud of the person you have become and achieving the life that you deserve! xoxoxxoxxo RAR
I still can't get over how PERFECT the room is!! Charlie will LOVE IT! xoxoxo
