Well, Clint and I are back to the flooring in our house. We sent Sat. pulling up all the carpet in the 3 bedrooms, kids bath, and the hall. Now we have concrete floors that we are slowly getting laminate flooring on. Each night we try to make some progress. Our progress gets slowed down by the kids and the fact that our rooms are not squared. Builders need to go back to school to learn how to make sure that rooms are square. It really makes laying flooring difficult. Also the people that pour the concrete also need to take lessons in leveling. We keep coming upon spots that are not level. Right now we have two spots that we know of that are high in the hall. We will have to fix them soon so that once we get done with the girls rooms we can continue in the hall.
Well Timothy now has four teeth. The two top ones are still coming in. They are not completely in. He is also starting to pull up to his knees on things and sometimes to his feet. He is getting into lots since he is crawling everywhere. We are having to make sure that the dog food and water bowls are up when he is on the move. Everything goes into his mouth. He is starting to eat some of his food cut up and not pureed. He has been enjoying turkey the last couple of nights and for lunch. Right now he is trying to weigh himself. I guess he wants to make sure he is gaining the right amount of weight. He is heavier than what his sister were at this age. He really lights up when they come to play with him.
Heidi has a new object that she likes to sleep with. I am not sure way she has chosen a blue washcloth but she has. She has informed us that she can't sleep without it. We now have to make sure that we have a blue washcloth packed in her bag when they go to Nana's and Papa's and to Grandma's and Granddad's. She actually came out of her room last night and said that she needed her blue washcloth. She has also woken me up saying that she can't find it in her bed. I am glad though that we have several blue washcloths. Especially since one got left at Nana's and Papa's last weekend. Maybe that is what I should do is just have both grandparents keep one of our blue washcloths at their house just in case we forget to pack one.
Elizabeth is still doing really well with her medication. She is really cute when she comes to tell us that her wrists don't hurt and that she can bend them. Recently she was able to bend them further than what she has. Last night she decided that she needed a green washcloth to sleep with. I pray that she does not always want one to sleep with like Heidi.
Well, Timothy is on the prowl. I better go find him and get the kids their lunches. Yeah it is almost rest time.
