Kelby has the desktop computer up and running. Therefore, I now have access to a computer to easily upload my pictures, and post of the blog. Typing was annoyingly too slow on the tablet. So be prepared for lots of updates. Especially house related.
We have owned our house for exactly a month now. It's remarkable how much there is to do, and in how many directions our time, energy, and resources has been pulled. I never dreamed that I would pay so much money for something, and then spend days cleaning. Most of the house is livable. Kitchen, family room, dining room, and part of the living room is Heidi friendly. Heidi's bedroom and the master bedroom are put together. That leaves two other bedrooms, the rest of the living room, the garage, and basement.
Kelby has been working hard on lots of different projects. His first one was replacing the hot water heater with a shorter tank, for safety reasons. He reworked all the shelves in the pantry. He set up lots and lots of furniture. Got the snow blower working. Run internet wiring. Worked on outlets. Started to remove yucky carpet and wood paneling from the basement. Put up a window blind. Set up washer and dryer. Made a makeshift fence for the dogs. Started to cut down a tree - the tree in the middle of the picture below.
I've cleaned, scrubbed, and cleaned some more. And then unpacked boxes, sorted, and put away our things. It is shocking at how much we fit into our 2 bedroom apartment in Texas.
It's also shocking how many bins of clothing Heidi has already outgrown. She is currently in 18 month to 24 month clothes. She has also learned how to stick out her tongue. Many babies learn this earlier than Heidi, but with her tongue-tie, it is a hard motion for her to imitate. The below picture shows how far she can stick out her tongue. Not very far. This is a classic example of a tongue-tie, how it is dimpled at the tip of her tongue, almost in a heart shape. She is so proud of herself, and will now do the motion to see our reaction.
In some lighting, it still looks like she has strawberry-blond hair. What do you think?
