Q: Too Early to Be Excited About Christmas?

Ha! So its like 9am here and my mum came in to say good bye before going to work, she always gives my belly a kiss. Well today was different, we were sat talking for 5 minutes and suddenly she started screaming so I jumped up, lol. There was a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE spider about to walk over my head! Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad I hate spiders!

So anyway, that was me up and I'm too scared to go back to bed now even tho she got the spider lol.

Anyway so now I'm bored and thinking about how cool christmas is gunna be this year, no school, just me, my mum, dad, boyfriend and my little girl. I'm guessing she'll be around 11-12 weeks old at christmas. What do you buy for a baby? my mum and I were saying we wanted to take her to the light switch on displays around where i live as its a very tourist full place, the lake district. hills, mountains and cute village's etc.

I'm just so excited, like the little things like holding her whilst putting up tree decorations and wrapping her up all warm and going shopping with her in the pram. Man I'm being all mushy but its so exciting.

what you ladies got planned for christmas?

(not sure why im thinking of christmas 3 months away, but hey we havent had much of a summer so im looking forward to winter instead!) Laughing

i kinda cant wait for christmas. Jordynne turns 1! josephs first christmas he was 4 mths old so we just like got little teething toys and rattles, clothes for him, stuff like that, i sat him in my lap while we unwrapped the presents. Last yr he was bigger and pulled all the decorations off my tree. This year im not putting a tree up because jason put it in the attic and i do not wanna go in that attic.
and omg i woulda freaked out if there was a spider that close to me. I am deathly afraid of spiders.

It's definately not too early to be excited for Christmas, I'm getting psyched about it also. Kaylee was just barely 3 months old last Christmas so all we got her was clothes, stocked up on diapers/wipes, teething rings & a bunch of odds & ends. This year is going to be so much fun because she'll be 1 Very Happy

i can't wait for christmas! i am worried about the tree situation though. finn puts *everything* in his mouth so i don't know if we'll be able to get one this year. i would put the ornaments up high but then he'd still be snacking on pine needles and branches. it would be weird without one though, so i don't know!

he was about 7 weeks last christmas and we didn't get him much. i got a teether toy and a board book for his stocking and then he got a little baby golf toy that he's just started playing with recently and the drop and roar dino, which i didn't put out until he was 5 or 6 months old. oh, and my parents got him a jumperoo which he went into immediately, even though 7 weeks is a little young for that.

i'm excited about this year because he'll be able to open his presents and be excited. i already have all his gifts!

lmfao yeah, you should have seen the bottom of our poor tree last year... the whole bottom half was bare from Jacob ripping the freakin' oranments off. We had fake apples on it and he'd rip them off and try to eat them lol.. then when he found out they were fake he'd throw them lol.

eats all the makeup

it will be her first x mas here with us but im positive the tree will not stay up if we let her near it

yeah our tree last year looked bad lol, thebottom half was bare, i just kept out the container the ornaments came in and put them up as he pulled em off, no sense in putting them back on the tree to repeat it over and over again.

Haha. Luckily my girl will only be 11-12 weeks old so I'll probably just hold her and let her look up at the twinkly lights and open her presents with her. I'm planning on trying her with a few mushed up christmas dinner veggies if she's ready too. Laughing My mum and I always go out every year and choose our tree in the early evening with our oversized jumpers, freezing cold, forcing it to go in the car. Then come home and do it all up nice. My mum is legendry for her christmas tree's, they look great! I so can't wait for christmas, I can introduce "santa" next year when she'll be over a year old. Laughing Oh the joys of motherhood...
