Sweating it out

Noah's been on the go again lately! We went back to Lexington this past weekend. Dave and I moved furniture back into the house, while Noah spent the day with Grandma Pat and Grandpa Rusty. The house is really coming together. We're planning to convert it from gas to electric, and we've started in on the breezeway. Then we just need to finish the laundry room. Yeah, right. We still need to finish cleaning the garage and start in on the shed. Then the attic. Someday we'd like to do some work to the kitchen, but that's going to be a while! And retile and re-install a window in the bathroom. And many other things that won't be happening anytime soon. We'll try to remember to take pictures when we're there next!

Noah's daycare was closed this week, so he stayed with Grandmas for a few days. Norita brought him back to Columbia Wednesday afternoon and stayed with us til Friday, so we could see him after work. Judging from his unhappiness after Grandma Norita left, we think he had a good time being spoiled rotten! He's getting back to normal now, though! Just in time to go back to Carol's on Monday.

We found out Wednesday our AC is broken! So we're trying to stay cool as best we can, but it will be nice when they get it fixed. Better early June than August, right?!

Noah's moving pretty quickly as he walks along the sides of furniture. We had to take down the baby gates because he figured out how to move them on his own! At least now I don't have to try to hike a leg over the gates, though it was a good work-out! Now we're just saying, "No!" a lot more often! Like when he tries to climb through the end table in the living room. This photo is from a month or so ago, but he's still trying it!


Noah has enjoyed taking all the toys out of his basket in our living room and tossing them aside. Sometimes he sits and plays with different things; other times, he takes off for some new adventure after he throws all his things to the ground!


For a couple days there, he was clamping down on the spoon when he'd eat. We had to wrestle it out of his mouth! Brandi - you might want to skip the rest of this!


Oh, we also found out Noah's eye surgery will be June 19. We don't know yet what time, but we know it will be in the morning. He'll be in surgery about an hour and a half, and he should be able to see just fine when he wakes up (well, he'll still have glasses, but he'll be able to see straight!). He won't have patches or anything. They said his eyes may itch for a few days because of the stitches, but those will dissolve soon. He should be able to return to daycare that Monday, according to the doctor. We'll just be glad to have this behind us.
