Time flies!

Pretty crazy that my lil punkin is 3 months today! She is growing smarter by the day also! In the last week she has decided her hands were pretty awesome. They are not only great for chewing and sucking on, they are also fantastic for pulling Mommy's hair, grabbing Mommy and Daddy's face to pull them in for kisses and even for putting every toy possible in her mouth.

Last night I introduced bath toys! I'm pretty sure she thought bath time couldn't get more fun than splashing, until she met her new bath time seahorse...

It was love at first sight


And now for the taste test...


Mmmm. Definitely passed the taste test. Luckily Mommy had my back and didnt let it touch the soapy bath water!


Ive also started Christmas shopping- like a mad woman. We found a few great sales on baby toys in the last month so Ive bought her a few things here and there. Everything is so adorable though and I picture her playing with it in her playroom (that we haven't even started renovation on). Like I said, a mad woman. I'm pretty sure Ill have her done in two weeks at the rate I'm going. :o)

We also picked out her Halloween costume! The original plan was for my Mom to make an adorable Panda costume. However, my cousin told me about a SUPER cute giraffe costume from Old Navy. Now, I know no one will believe me but I really didn't have any intention of her being a giraffe. The costume was way too cute though and only $16!



And, another buy that I'm excited for is this awesome leaf (shown in the picture below) from Ikea. Mom and I hit up Ikea over the weekend in search of awesome accessories for the nursery and we both fell in love and thought it would look adorable over her crib since we will have the whole jungle theme going on...



Her nursery is still a work in progress though. Since we have the funky ceiling upstairs, we decided to do built in storage in the walls (similar to the built ins in the picture below). So far we have the wall demoed and the carpet ripped up but since the walls(like everything in this house) are plaster and lathe, its more involved than we planned and will take longer especially with Mr. Jersey doing side jobs. Ill be sure to post pics when its done though!



Lastly, I'm super excited about this weekend. We are heading up to CT to my Grandfathers church so he can christen Makenna. He actually isn't doing well and we talked about canceling the christening and just doing a visit but he insists we go with the plan. He cant wait to christen his Great Granddaughter. I'm still worried it will be a lot on him but a lot of my family will be up there to help out and we wont let him push himself too far. It really means a lot to us to have him be the one to christen her. It makes it that much more special and also she will be wearing the same christening dress that my Nana (his wife) made and that all my cousins and I wore. My Nana wasn't able to finish putting everyones initials in the dress though so my Mom took it to have everyones initials (including my munchkins) embroidered in it. Its a really special family tradition that I'm honored my daughter could be part of. Also my cousin (her godmother) will be flying up from Florida! I;m really excited to have that much needed family time with my Grandfather and some of the family we dont get to see often.

I'm sure I will have pictures to post after this weekend!
