The hobbitling girl is growing so fast. She and the Boookie are now sharing a room, and it is really great to see how they interact. Some mornings, the Mayor and hobbit wife are awakened to "conversations" consisting of Boookie talking at her crib, and her cooing back at him.
Here's the Boookie getting ready for a bath.
Boookie has an outside squirt bottle that is his to play with. He has two rules about the bottle so far - the bottle can't be brought inside, and he can't squirt Mommy, Auntie Jen, or Ela. As you can see from the photo, Daddy is fair game. The little guy is pretty accurate, but that's not surprising, with the genes he has to work with. One of his parent's first pseudo-dates was at the gun range, where the Mayor shot a smiley face at 15 yards to impress the future hobbit wife.
The Mayor's remodeling efforts continued full-speed this weekend. The weekend commenced with adding a final coat of drywall mud. Over the course of the weekend, the walls and ceiling were primed and painted, the doors were replaced, the wiring was completed, and the floor was installed.
Here's the Boookie "Helping Daddy." We don't know why he's wearing ear muffs to mop the floor...
Starting to lay the flooring.
The weekend concluded with moving the bed from the living room back into the bedroom. Baseboard and crown molding will get installed over the next week.
