Drying tile

The hot tub in the sunroom has been removed, and now it's time to put in tile. Finding the right tile took time, but Sue persevered and finally found some with a matching pattern. The only problem was it didn't come in 6 inch sizes, so I had to cut a number of 12 inch tiles down to size. The wet saw left a lot of residue on the tiles, so I washed them yesterday and hung them out to dry.

Okay, so I didn't actually dry all the tiles this way. It seemed like it would make a good picture.

Get a long little baby

Many people seeing Maria have commented on how long she is. She had her two month checkup last week, and she was 25.5 inches long, which puts her in the 99th percentile. I see now she really is a long baby.

Sleep books

So I've been reading a book about sleeping babies (Sue asked me to read it - and speaking of her - Sue has a blog now. She has an entry about Maria sleeping). The particular book is Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. The main problem is I keep falling asleep while reading it.

Things found in the yard

A sampling of things found in our yard:

Pea plants

Diapers drying on the line

Bird's nest in the satellite dish

Eeek!!!

Leaves of three,
spray it with Round-up

Not as catchy as the original saying, but effective.

Mowing the lawn has never been so much fun.

Grow, Baby, Grow

Here's a picture of Maria at a little over six weeks, next to the manual for a size reference.
