We adore this book for traveling for exactly the reasons you mentioned. :)

Why not a pic of a sleeping baby?

Love Ikea but definitely prefer not to go with kids! Smaland was great, for the 2 years my son was tall enough but not too tall for it. It's such a short window!

We have a home-made doctor's kit. Instead of the bag, we keep it in a cardboard suitcase (like these: http://www.landofnod.com/kids-decorative-accents/kids-room-decor/pack-your-bags/f641), with a red cross glued on top. Much easier to store on a shelf than a bag!

Thanks everyone for the inspirations and suggestions! If my daughter were extremely clear on exactly what she wanted, it would be different, but other than "rainbow on my wall" she is pretty open so since I do have an opportunity to create something we will both love, I'm tyring to do just that! It's true that it is just paint (we're painting the whole room, not just the rainbow), but it's hard work to paint and I don't plan to do it again until she's old enough to do it herself, so I'd like to love it. I don't think that's too much to ask! I love the colorwash rainbow and also the one posted by brakeforbread. They are very different so I will see what we come up with! Thanks again for the inspiration and if anyone has suggestions for a blue that would be lovely for the walls, I'd love to hear it.

Well, it depends on how much you are planning to spend, but Gertie balls and board books are always great options for that age group!

I just wanted to write and say that contrary to what some in the news media are saying, not all baby slings are being recalled! The Infantino Sling Rider is what is known in the baby sling industry as a "bag sling" which baby carrier advocates have never recommended as a safe carrier for babies. The infantino carrier is not the same as a ring sling or a pouch. The safest position for an infant under 4 months is in an upright, or tummy to tummy position. For more information, contact a baby sling advocate near you!

I adore this room! Robin's nest looks likely a lovely aqua blue on my screen, and I'm wondering whether you'd say it looks more green or blue irl. When I checked out the color at Benjamin Moore, it's on a shade that darkens to a color that is more green than blue. Would love to hear your thoughts!
