It's a JUNGLE in here!

Well, it is finally complete. After many dedicated hours, loads of encouragement by me, and totally super contributions from a variety of friends and family, my nursery is complete (INCREDIBLE!). It is really the piece de resistance, if you will, of all nurseries across this great land. I wanted to share a few more photos with all of the maddiepandfriends because YOU made it happen. I am SO appreciative, and am SO hoping that many of you will be able to come to see me, and hang in my crib with me for a while. BTW - I have submitted these photos to MTV in hopes that they might decide to film a "Cribs" out here in Denver. The "Hollywood infants" might get more pub and covers, but I guarantee you their nurseries have nothing on mine. Keep your fingers CROSSED!!

I would like to take the time to give a special, Casey Kasem style, long-distance dedication to Grandma and Grandpa Olson for the items featured in the following pics. They are responsible for the jungle-themed comforter, bedding, and super cool bumper. Don't you just LOVE the monkey? I sure do!


I was able to continue the jungle theme throughout the room because Grandma Olson also painted me some animal art for the walls. And you all thought I was ONLY going to have a jungle crib! You were SO wrong (SILLY!) :) Also, I should mention that all of this art is hand-painted (no stencils, Dad. JK, you know I still love my surfing monkeys. Easy.....) making it that much more excellent!

Totally awesome, RIGHT?! Suck it Picasso! Anyhoo, here is my La-Z-Boy recliner (it's not really a LaZBoy, mom is not a fan of those! Don't ask me why....) where I'll be able to lounge while I eat and/or sleep with mom or dad. I can't wait to kick my feet up, lay back, and bump some Tribe out of my stereo and just soak it all in (RELAXING!). "I float like gravity, never had a cavity Got more rhymes than the Winans got family..." I especially like that particular verse because I am SO against cavities, and I don't even have any teeth yet! Remember to brush and floss twice a day everyone. I want all the maddiepandfriends to have super clean smiles just like me! I was SO not into floss for a while, but dad explained that I might want to reconsider if I'm going to "make it big" someday. OMG, here I go on a tangent again! I totally forgot to post the pic. My bad :(



This chair looks really inviting doesn't it? I might just sit there all day if I'm so inclined. Inclined to recline if you will, and I WILL! FWIW - Dad is still struggling to figure out all of the features on our new camera, so I apologize in advance if the pics are not perfectly in focus. I was like, "Dad, it's just 'point and shoot', don't make it SO complicated!". It's not a big deal now, but can you IMAGINE if my cute little face is out of focus when he takes photos of my arrival?! Not good! Believe it or not, I still have a lot of faith in him, and am sure he'll figure it out by then (HURRY!).

Oh, one final pic, and this one is of my nightstand along with a few other notable items. The nightstand has a super neat jungle animal lamp, my stereo, and another painting that Grandma Olson did. There is also a picture frame by the lamp, but that frame is currently holding a picture of a fake baby, so look away! I will replace that stupid fake baby soon enough!

On the right of the nightstand, you can see my Curious George night-light. My nights of sleeping will be SO not scary thanks to Mr. George! On the left is a animal stacking tower of some sort. I'm supposed to dump them all off the support stand, then restack them in order (CHALLENGING!) Dad said it will totally help with my brain development which is extremely important.

OK, that's all for today. The fam has a three day weekend, so dad totally has more time to take dictation! Isn't that awesome?! Plus, he's still feeling a ton of remorse for blowing me off last weekend, so I really have his "attention" now :) Tomorrow I will be discussing my trip to Dazzle, and I will also share some stories that Claire Bear shared with me about her trip back from Florida. They are wicked funny so stay tuned!
