How do babies get their feet in their own mouths? That's all Amelie does now besides roll over. She lays in her crib and keeps herself awake by chewing on her toes. She also rolls over and gets stuck on her tummy and fusses. It's becoming harder and harder to put her to sleep. Last night she woke up screaming. I mean, screaming. It freaked me out. I think she was still sleeping or having a dream because I went into her room and her eyes were still closed and she kept them closed the whole time she cried. We got her back to bad but she woke up again about an hour later crying, not screaming like before. We ended up putting her in the swing and then she slept for 6 hours. I don't want her sleeping in the swing every night but she sleeps way better in the swing than in her bed. Getting 6 hours of sleep in a row is a rare thing these days.

I went over to our house today while my mom babysat. It's coming along very nicely. Almost all the walls are painted. We chose green, brown and grey. I cleaned up the bathroom and wiped the tobacco stains out of the bathroom vanity. Who smokes so much that their bathroom vanity has a layer of yellow tobacco stain ? Grody. My dad primed the upstairs stairway. It was previously maroon, with a layer of smoke stain.

Andy layed Travertine in the entryway and put in a new threshold last week. Thas is the only photo that I have of our work in process.

He was tiling the kitchen when I was over there today. It looks cool, they are big 18 in tiles. The kitchen is primed and just needs to be painted. All the bedrooms, bathroom, dining room, hallway and bathroom have all been painted. Woodwork needs to be scrubbed, kitchen finished and floors cleaned, then we are ready to move in on Friday.

I found us a stove on craigslist this afternoon and Tyler went over to pick it up tonight. Only $50 and the guy threw in one of those old fashioned push mowers with just the blades. We were looking for one of those. Plus he sold Tyler a sweet bike for $25. Not that we need another bike...

Yesterday was Tyler's birthday. I brought him and his parents a late lunch yesterday while they were all working on the house. He got fried chicken, cupcakes, and some high top Chucks for his bday. Red ones. Low key birthday this year. A little different than his 25th birthday
We took a bus to the Cannon River and went tubing. It was a lot of fun. That was a sharp mohawk he had then.

I'm going to eat a leftover birthday cupcake and go to bed.
