Updates, updates everywhere

     I knew I was behind but assumed I had at least written at the beginning of the year.  Oops.  The house is under construction, most of the demolition stage is over.  My parents took on the master bathroom and are almost ready to build it back up again. They're putting insulation in, everything is sanded, the main bathroom is almost ready to build back up, and the ugly pet cage in the back yard is gone.  So much has been done.  I've mostly been taking care of Adrian but I'm hoping to help more now that the weather is nice.  He can hang out in the back yard with me.

Here's the living room when we bought the house but I think some cleaning had been done by the time it was taken

After:

I don't have a picture of the wooden floor from this view

Here is the living room from the view of the dining room:


Without the carpet:


Kitchen before and after:
Carpet in the kitchen.  

Still better than carpet, a lovely seafoam green linoleum floor.  I'm sure it was aces back in 1959:


I need to work on getting pictures in the same view.  Fail.



Master bath

     Adrian is doing well, he's getting into everything.  He has a new habit where he takes a drink, swishes it in his mouth and spits it out all over the floor.  It drives me bonkers.  Most of what he says all day is negative: "no" oh no" and "uh oh" are his favorite things to say.  We bought him a potty chair so he can get used to it for when the time comes.  I think at the very least we'll have to wait until we move since that's a big change and he'll only have just turned two.




     Oh another thing Adrian started is sticking his finger up his nose.  The first time he did this was at the cash register in No Frills.  He has awesome timing.  My favorite new thing is that he gives kisses now.  Just sweet little pecks and if you're lucky he'll grab your face so you're facing him and press his forehead as hard as he can on yours and wiggle it back and forth.  This is how he rubs noses.



     With the nice weather we have been going outside every day.  His favorite thing to do is walk around and pick up sticks. Even with a whole playground in front of him he will be most excited about the sidewalk.  It's fun to watch him explore, I think he'll love the zoo this year.



I didn't write for awhile because my netbook charger broke and I was waiting to get another one.  I hope I'll write more, I like looking back and watching Adrian grow.
