Ahhh Bristol's Quiet Book.
A few months ago I had the brilliant ( insert eye roll here) idea to make B a quiet book for when the baby is born.
She found mine from when I was little and loved it so I thought- oh great idea!
At the time I had a lot more guilt about adding another person to take attention away from her, more energy, and LOTS more patience.
I researched blogs and Pinterest for page ideas and simple "how -tos" then drew up my plans.
Here is the end result.
I used vintage sheets for the cover and pages - I love the soft, girly look to it.
Soft, texture lion...
Counting carrots and tying shoes...
I spy fish bowl and mail for Bristol...
Telling time and matching colors...
Tic Tac Toe and counting to 10 with beads...
Its not perfect by any means but it was made with the last remaining patience I had left and lots of love. I hope she enjoys it and it softens the blow of a little brother.
Oh my gosh, A that is beautiful! That must have taken you forever! Bristol will LOVE it and she is such a lucky little girl!
