The one with a curious happy babe.

This kid and his bear.  My goodness.  He loves the thing.  It is the first thing he hands to me in the morning now, before he wants out of his bed I have to take the bear.  He is so funny.  It isn't something that he has to have, but when he does he is the happiest little guy.  

He can reach the doorknobs!! I was organizing the kitchen and looked up to see this.   

He still doesn't have enough torque to turn the knob, but I'm sure that will be soon.

   

Then he decided he wanted to help me. He climbed right into the cabinet I was putting a standing shelf thing in.  He was super helpful pulling the drill out of my hands.  It's a darn good thing he is cute.  

I cannot explain my inexpressible joy that my kitchen is finally organized.  And annoyed that I didn't just do it earlier.  It didn't even take that long.  Whatever.  It is done now, orientation has been had, baby-proofing has been done.  Nobody will make it so bad again!!

And then, I tackled the other issue that we have been trying to think of a solution for since we moved.  The spices.  They were in a drawer this whole time, which makes me crazy, and we were running out of space.  

So I decided on shelves, I had no idea how I would actually do it, but I measured a bunch and just left.   

So Luca and I headed to Lowe's with our gift cards and got some wood cut, and figured out what hardware I would need.  I sprayed it brown when we got back, let it dry, and then got the hardware on.  

I got them on the walls, and YAY it is perfect.  I am so glad.  The drawer can now be used for something else!! I have no idea what, and it is still empty, but whatever!  

Luca got glow in the dark stars for his birthday, and we put them up together a few days ago, and played in there for a bit--he LOVES them!! It seems to be helping him stay in his room too.  

Everytime we walk into his room he points right up and starts explaining the stars to me again.

The other day, some HOA men came and sawed out sidewalk out and dug it out with a digger.  During naptime.  Are you kidding me.  It was so dang loud.  

And this was Luca like a half hour into his nap.
