We're just ten weeks away from Baby Jack's big debut. He's been really active lately, especially after a sizable bowl of Peanut Butter Ripple ice cream his mom snuck in last night. No "bump pictures" to share with you tonight, but we are making a little bit of progress on the nursery!
Baby Fun Fact: At 30 weeks, his brain is no longer smooth. It's beginning to form all the wrinkles you expect to see in a human brain that allow for continued development. Keep on growing, Professor Jack!
First up, Aunt Sam came over yesterday and helped Suz put together Jack's first bookcase. You can see it's a simple cubbie design, complete with some colorful baskets for extra toys -- and it's all at the perfect height for him for several years. Suz is thinking about adding a few colorful "A, B Cs" to the baskets. Jim was just excited that there was finally something he didn't have to build on his own!
You can see Grandma Kerr has already snuck in a few books. Always the teacher! You can't really see it from this angle, but one of the books comes with little animal finger puppets. We didn't have cool stuff like that!
Next we have Parachute Monkey. Isn't he the best? Well, he was a pain-and-a-half to put up on Jack's closet! The set was vinyl and boasted how "quick and easy" it was on the packaging. When will Jim learn? He worked in advertising! It's their job to lie. Took just about an hour to get the whole set put up. Jim is convinced he'll have nightmares of trying to line up all the seperate pieces of the parachute for years to come.
You can't see him yet, but Monkey has a Whale Friend to match him that will be on Jack's toybox. If you didn't know, his theme is an island/sea theme.
Gina notices something is missing, but she hasn't figured out what yet.
Finally, what nursery would be complete without baby's name up on the wall? Unfortunately, "A" and "K" seem to be very popular letters. We'll have to make a return trip to Michael's to finish this project.
Tomorrow will be a big day. After seemingly endless delays, Jack's crib and dresser will be arriving in the morning. Check back then!
