Big Sister Gifts

Jenna has received several "big sister" gifts.  At the hospital she received a picture frame from Matt, Carla, and Ciara.  The other gifts are mostly hoping to provide her with entertainment while she is at home with mommy and Shelby on maternity leave.  Mommy and Daddy purchased Jenna a little swimming pool and some bubble supplies on Memorial Day Monday (we haven't broken into the bubbles yet).  The pool made it to the deck just before it rain Monday.  We did not get it filled the rest of the way up on Monday and then ended up in the hospital very early Tuesday morning.  On Saturday, we finally got around to filling up the pool.  Jenna was very interested in the pool and watching the water hose fill it up; however, she did not like getting sprayed!
If I use the watering can, will it get full faster?
As I mentioned in my previous post, Stanley and Janet came to visit Saturday.  Jenna recieved a package of board puzzles as a big sister gift.
 While we were visiting the pool water had a chance to warm up a little before we made our maiden voyage to the swimming pool.  At first Jenna didn't know what to think.
She was very surprised (we have started seeing this face a lot lately).
I think she liked the water, but she was very nervous about getting in.
 So she played pool-side for a while... and talked things over with Daddy.
Then she decided it was time to get in...
and splash, splash, splash, play, giggle, and have fun!

Sunday, brought a few more new things for Jenna, including a new Elmo book, Elmo plush....

and Elmo cell phone from Ivan, Angel, Kaity and Kent.

I am not sure she has stopped babbling on the phone since Daddy opened it!

Thank you everyone for the presents for Jenna and helping include her in all the newness going on around here!
