Not to be one of those moms, but my baby rolled over today! From his tummy to his back. It surprised him as much as it surprised me. After he rolled, he looked at me like, "What the heck just happened!?" and then burst into tears. Ha!
Lifting that head! He pushed with his right arm and rolled to his left. Guess that means he's right handed? Little video of my little man:
On the home front, I should have an update of the living and dining rooms soon. Extreme home makeover takes a little longer when you have a 2-month-old and you're doing the work yourselves. Quick update:
- My 84-year-old grandfather who can do anything is in the midst of rewiring the original chandelier in the dining room. We've had some issues with it, but he is coming over today to install what we hope is the completed fixture. It's solid brass and came from Germany. I am more of a nickel/silver girl, but the brass fixture has grown on me and I like it!
- The formal living room is complete and my favorite part is the updated fireplace mantel - it's gorgeous! We just bought a barely used, neutral couch for the room on Craigslist for $100 (score!) and are slowly putting it together. Right now, all the dining room stuff is in the living room, so no "after" pictures just yet.
- We've mostly prepped the dining room to paint. We are for sure painting over the wallpaper. My dad patched most of the seams with joint compound and you can't even see them. Brian has Killz-ed all the trim, and we'll eventually Killz the whole room.
Hoping to make more progress this weekend!
Oh, and one more thing for my mom friends. We use Pampers diapers over here.. not out of choice, but basically, they are the only ones that Preston doesn't soak through. I found out about the Gifts to Grow program today. It's actually pretty cool. There are 15-digit codes inside Pampers boxes and if you enter them online, you can use them to get free diapers, toys and other stuff. Here is a link with coupon codes to get you started. I entered those and a few of my own today and already have 600 points!
Anyway, that's enough for today. My child is calling me!
