Good Evening!

Just taking a break from our crazy week to post some pictures!

We had a busy day of running around yesterday! We started the afternoon with a trip to IKEA! We had lunch first because IKEA has a GREAT restaurant. We made it through the entire top floor without any problems but in the textiles section, Syd started to get unruly! LOL So, I picked her up from her car seat and it was quite OBVIOUS why she was upset….SHE STANK! LMAO I’d be cranky if I smelled like that as well! So, off to the bathrooms to get freshened up! Now, IKEA really knows their target audience because not only do they have TONS of Family parking spaces, they also have a Family Washroom that has a change table (a real one..not those plastic fold into the wall kinds), complimentary diapers and a chair for feeding. So, we finished off our shopping experience and our pocketbooks were only $75 lighter! LOL That is quite a feat for a trip to our favorite store!

I bought one of those canopy nets for over Syd’s crib:

We also got some curtains for her room. I wanted something dark that would block out the light in the hopes that it will help with her daytime napping but, I also wanted to keep with the color them of pink and purple. So, what I did was get dark blue curtains:

and then got a really nice sheer purple to go over top:

The look of the two curtains together is SOO nice!

After we spent our few hours at IKEA we went to pick up a playmat toy that I purchased. Syd tried it out today and she absolutely LOVES it! One of the dangle toys has a mirror and she spent a good 20 minutes today talking to herself! LOL

She is turning into quite the little chatter bug. Once you get her going, she will goo and ahhh and ohhh forever!

Next, we hit Michael’s as I had to pick up some supplies for Pat’s anniversary gift! I would tell you all about it but Mr. Nose reads my journal and I don’t even want him to get a hint! LOL Finally, we hit Costco for some grocery shopping and, I picked up a battery charger and some re-chargable batteries! So, I will NEVER be out of batteries for the digital camera again!

In order to celebrate, I took some pictures when we got home:

In other news, we finally picked up the crib and mattress tonight! Toys R Us has a big sale on that ends tomorrow so we wanted to get it at the discounted price.

The ceiling guy is coming in tomorrow so hopefully Pat and I can assemble it tomorrow evening! I hope she adjusts well to sleeping in it!

Saturday we are having our second ever date night without the baby!! My mom is coming here to watch her and Pat and I are going out to celebrate our 1 year anniversary! I cannot believe how quickly this year has gone by!! We will have been married a year and Syd will be turning 3 months. YIKES!

Well, I am off to bed but, I will leave you with 2 more pictures of our little DIVA:

G’NIGHT!
