Hi, friends!
It’s been an exciting month around here. Mark’s daughter, Traci, gave birth to her first baby, little Rose on October 5th and so that’s been wonderful news for the family. We are all rejoicing over a healthy baby girl added to the family. I have been mindful of what I share about Mark’s family and don’t want to invade anyone’s privacy without their approval, so I asked Traci if it was OK for me to share here on my blog and she was happy for me to do so. So, today I’m going to share the baby’s nursery as well as pics of her too. She’s almost 4 weeks old now and growing like a weed. It’s amazing how much she has changed since that first day we saw her at the hospital after she was born. They sure change fast, don’t they!
Traci and Tony moved into my old house when Mark and I moved into our new house and it’s been fun seeing them get settled in and planning for the new baby. Her nursery is Rhonda’s old room and it sure has changed a lot. We’ll get to that, but first, the baby pics!
Mama Traci right after baby Rose was born. Traci’s middle name is Rose, named after Mark’s grandmother, her great grandmother, and she passed the name on to her baby girl.
She’s an adorable little thing.
Mark and I went by the hospital that evening after she was born in the morning and saw her for the first time. This is Mark’s 3 grandchild (the first 2 were boys) and I’m going to have fun being a grandmother too with these little ones. Another daughter of Mark’s, Kelly, is due with her first baby (a boy) in January so that’s going to be exciting too with another new baby.

There’s nothing more precious than a newborn baby, is there?
Mark getting more cuddle time with Rose. We have all had fun holding her.
Babies are so sweet and cuddly.
Now, for the nursery! As I mentioned she’s in the front bedroom that was Rhonda’s room, with the big picture window. Traci chose soft pink, gray, black and white for her colors in the room and I think it looks great.
Gray crib with a soft and cozy round rug really makes the room feel comfortable.
Such a cute room.
Lots of stuffed animals already in the crib.
This piece was in my master bedroom with the TV on it and I gave it to Traci for the baby. It’s a child’s piece of furniture and perfect for her to use for Rose and they painted it black and got pink rose knobs for it.
She got a glider from her aunt which will be great in here.
Bookcase with baby things.
Soft and cozy blankets in a bin.
And a chalkboard sign with Rose’s name on it. She has a nice big closet to fill up with baby clothes and I’m sure this is going to be one well dressed little girl. She’s the only girl grandchild so far and I’m sure she will be spoiled with lots of clothes. Girls are so fun to dress!
I wanted to share our excitement and let you all meet the newest addition to the family, baby Rose. She’s just adorable and it will be such fun to watch her grow! I’ll have another little girl to love on now.
Beautiful baby! Thanks for sharing, and congratulations to all.
She is so beautiful…….mama too! Love the crib and wall hanging above. Congrats to your family! Thx for letting us share in all your happiness.
What a beautiful mama and baby! And that room – it’s pure fabulousness! I can’t believe Traci and Tony got moved in and got the house fixed up through the pregnancy. Tell Traci I can tell she’s already a super woman! That’s a pile of stressors conquered in just 9 months! Best wishes to all.
I think you stated everything I wanted to say. 😉
Congratulations to the entire family!
You might want to check out that one bouncy baby seat in the picture in the baby’s room. I thought that I saw on the news last week that they have been recalled . Worth checking out.
Oh man. Now I’m itching for a girl! I’ve got a 2.5 yr old boy and he definitely needs a little sister. Just precious! Congratulations on the new family member. She’s just beautiful!
She is beautiful and I love all the hair. Babies are wonderful and so much fun to see their personalities as they grow. You will have so much fun dressing her up. Congratulations!
Congratulations to all! Rose is such a beautiful baby! The room is adorable. Thanks for sharing such blessed news!
She is a beauty and so fun seeing her nursery, Rhoda. Enjoy those baby snuggles, babies grow up too fast as you know from Parker and Iris.
She’s beautiful! Love her name, crib, and room – so prettty! God bless! Congrats to all!
Oh my goodness. She is absolutely perfect. I think I can smell her cuteness from here. It’s so wonderful to have these love bundles help us keep a life balance as we marvel at the beauty, but sadness too of our aging parents and the wonder of these new little lives.
Congratulations on the arrival of beautiful Rose! Her nursery is fabulous!
Christmases will be so much fun as all these babies grow up.
Congratulations to the whole family. I am so happy for you.
Beautiful baby! Love the room- she did a great job! Enjoy Rose 🙂
Congratulations to you and your family!!
She is beautiful! I know little girls are so special, especially dressing them in ruffles! Grandchildren are the best blessing one can be given. Your heart never gets enough of their love. Enjoy and the nursery is so pretty!
Aww….she’s precious! Love her name! And that first pic of Mark holding her in the hospital – the love shines through – a treasure!
Beautiful baby girl! Love the Moma and baby head bands.
Congrats! She is so precious!
Oh joy! What a beautiful baby girl and that hair? Yum… Congratulations to all!
My friend just had a baby at the end of Sept and named her Annie Rose and I love the name Rose!
