New Discoveries

If you hadn't noticed from the blog re-design I'm back. Not because anything fabulous happened and I'm back at home during the day, but because Thad was over the blogging fun and I kept having to pester him to update "our family journal." So I took it back.
Sammy has made all sorts of new discoveries lately. He likes to help me unload and reload the dishwasher.


He likes to splash in water, not matter where he finds it.


He likes to watch Baby Einstein videos, and will sit there zoning with a goofy little grin.


He likes to drink bathwater, but don't worry, he only likes it fresh from the faucet.

I saw him do that and of course had to grab the camera, and realized that this little guy knew what I was doing. He kept taking drinks over and over, but in between drinks he'd look at me sideways like this to make sure I as still watching and taking pictures.


And then when he was done he had to come get a close up shot.

He's such a happy fun little tank of a guy.
Andi has been doing some interesting things lately too. First, she likes to wear hats, and when we leaves the house she usually needs to have a hat, her sun glasses and her purse, meaning she looks something like this for her trip to the grocery store.

She has also decided that it is no longer fun to smile nicely for pictures and ends up doing something like this.In project news we put a new light fixture in the entryway. There has been this gross gold one, but it was one of those small projects that just kept getting pushed to the bottom of the list because it would take no time at all. This is the before.

And this is the after. Of course Thad couldn't just switch fixtures, he had to re-center and cut a new whole for a new box and new wiring, so it would be perfectly centered on the tile.


Today's project. Tiling the bathroom floor! Again, he says it will take no time at all, but I'll let you know how that goes.

The new light looks great. Dylan loves to drink the bath water too, although he hasn't discovered toilets yet :) Glad you are back.

Blog post name stealer!! I was looking at my blog and jumped onto yours and saw "New Discoveries." I had to go back to mine to verify that in fact that was the title of my last post. Funny. :)

Those pics are adorable! So fun to see how they are growing up so fast and learning new things (good and bad:) Of course I think my grandchildren are adorable whatever they are doing:)
