10 months old

My baby is 10 months old! How can it be going so fast? She is cruising around furniture, waving bye bye and gives high five.


I finally got around to making her hooded towels for her baths--or just sitting and playing :)

One down, two to go

A simple request to patch a hole turned into a bathroom remodel. We had the plumbing for the whole house redone back in August and were left with a hole in the wall next to the shower in the master bath. When I asked Tim to patch it because I was tired of looking at a piece of green drywall in a sea of baby blue, he decided he might as well patch the one over the sink that was covered by the medicine cabinet, as well. When we gutted the big bathroom on the main floor, we discovered the previous owners had pulled out an inset medicine cabinet in the master bath and just covered the hole with a new cabinet. Lovely. Or genius. Who would ever look behind a medicine cabinet until it's too late!? There was also a hole below the old light fixture that was covered with a piece of sheet metal and painted over. And, as you can tell, said previous owners did not take down the medicine cabinets before applying the aforementioned baby blue paint. So after much, much, much patching of holes and smoothing out walls and sanding and more mudding and moving and re-attaching the electrical box for the light fixture because it was just kind of dangling inside the wall and a few other little setbacks, we have a new bathroom! Almost. We still need to appoxy paint the pink shower. But I'm happy for now. Now on to mudding and taping the new ceiling in the basement bathroom! Then maybe we'll finish the bathroom we gutted a year and a half ago!
