Weekly news

Well it's offically all go on the bathroom renovation front. Here is the hopeful schedule:
10th - Vanity and bath arrive
19th - Skip bin arrives
20th - 22nd Move out, demolish bathroom & prepare floor
23rd - Waterproofing
26th - Bath installed & painting
27th - 28th Painting & tiling
30th - Toilet and vanity installed
31st - Move back in

Of course that might all go horribly wrong if we pull up the existing tiles and find something has gone wrong underneath, or for any manner of other problems. Whatever happens we'll take progress photos to remember it all by. On Saturday we went and looked at tiles, tiles and more tiles and vanities and baths and toilets and taps and mixers. We've decided on tiles and paint colours and we have bought a vanity and bath (Meeks had already picked the vanity and bath). We have to do some more measurements before we can buy a toilet. Taps and stuff we will do either this week or next weekend. It's all a big adventure!

In other news Mitch has reached the point where we were happy to turn the car seat around so he can face the front and see where he is going. He was pretty pleased with the change as you can see:


Weekends are fun, especially playing with Mitch on the big bed. Here's a slightly blurry but very cute picture - you can even see his little teeth although they're a bit blurry. He's wearing his little French outfit from the Norringtons:

As you can see he is lifting up his head well when he's on his belly. Sometimes he tries to to get into a crawling position by pulling his legs up and sticking his bum in the air. Unfortunately that pitches his face down into the ground. He hasn't quite got the arms and the legs working in tandem. He's doing reasonably well at his sitting as well, he still easily over balances, mostly forward. As he's falling forward he sticks one hand out to balance himself, so he can play with whatever is in front of him, then he tips over to the side. It all kind of happens in slow motion though, so it's funny to watch.

The only other bit of news is that he was a bit sooky and dribbly and had ruddy cheeks and was sick a few times on the weekend, which apparently all all signs of further teething - either that or he's a bit sick. Nothing bad though so I'm sure it will settle down soon or we'll see some new teeth poking through.
