LaVonne, Ian's mom, came down for a classic grandma-spoils-baby-for-first-birthday trip right before all the TV madness began. Julian and I met her at IKEA (she and husband Dan live in Waco), and we had the best time shopping for a new bed, among other things, for Julian. We found a converter bed that he can use as a crib now but that we can change into a toddler bed when he's ready. And of course, we had to find the cutest comforter/sheet set they had as well as a few toys. Don't forget the sultan mattress for the little prince to sleep on. Oh, and a milk whipper for mommy's coffee and a few of her favorite Swedish meatballs. :) I know everybody says this, but, man, IKEA is so awesome! I could buy out the place, if I had the space.
(Speaking of IKEA, one of the style writers at the paper turned me on to this guy who's been living in IKEA for a week while his NYC apartment is fumigated. Mark Malkoff is his name, and he's the guy who visited all 171 Starbucks in Manhattan in one day last year. He's been posting videos he's been making while staying at a New Jersey store.)
Grandma also bestowed upon our wee royalty the coolest car seat. It's seriously like a throne in a car. Mommy wants one of those, too!
We had such a good time that day. For those of you who remember a few of the mother-in-law figures I've butted heads with in the past (let's be honest here, there was only one), I'm as pleasantly surprised as you to know a mother-in-law and I could get along so well.
Aren't they sweet?
