Kitchens, Bathrooms and more

The house is SO close to done I can taste it. Tiling and painting will finish in the next day or two. Then waiting for the glass and the plumber to finish up the faucets and we are in soon!! Goal move in date is next Friday, but this weekend we'll be doing some initial wiping down of the inside kitchen cabinets and getting furniture and bookshelves set up. Follow the jump for pictures.

Circles

I tried so hard to get a picture of Simon looking at the camera. I unwisely chose a very interesting blanket and couldn't get him to look up, even with some help from Britni. He is still sticking out his tongue often, I he does it when he is thinking. This is the same blanket he was swaddled in in the hospital. Those circles sure got smaller!


Picture of the Day: 10/18/11

Even though he looks asleep, he isn't. He hasn't moved in the last 20 minutes but to suck on his pacifier and to open his eyes to slits and follow me around. Just making sure I'm getting ready this morning and not slacking off. He is like an old grandfather on his rocker keeping tabs on his lawn!

4 months already!

Today is Simon's four month doctor appointment. How is he possibly that old already? He's changed so much in those four months. I can hardly believe it was such a short time ago that he was our tiny little lump of a baby. Now he has so much personality! He is super strong and loves standing more than he likes sitting. He also is really smiley and always up for laughing at his parents' silly faces.  This morning to prep for the doctor, the little guy worked his arms with some pushups (look at the fun he was having), then did some standing around and finally rested up at Safari Cup. Doctor was hard, four shots for vaccines, but he's doing great now - sleeping it off. 

At the 2 month appointment he was in the 50th percentile for height and weight (measured from his actual birthday of June 16, not his due date which apparently some doctors do). At 4 months he's now around 55% for height and 45% for weight:14 pounds and 2 ounces, 24 and 3/4 inches long, with a 41 cm head. Pretty perfect if you ask me!
