I'm so glad we didn't get around to hanging the mirror. She loves looking at the funny baby in the reflection.

Sometimes the light is just right. Temperature was like a sauna, but the light was good.

Sometimes I look at her and think "she's going to be driving soon".

She only eats puréed things. I wonder what a puréed hamburger would taste like. You know, hamburger with all the works meets blender. Today I'm thankful that I can chew.

I cut up the watermelon to make more room in the fridge. The one redeeming feature of summer is the fresh fruit.

Starbucks Via (instant!) coffee and puffed wheat squares. She slept over 2 hours this morning, what a treat! I'm looking forward to making crafts with her.

The backsplash is up and grouted. Now we just need to wait a couple days to seal it. It looks fantastic. It's strange to see it finished.

A photo shoot with a dress I wore. Teething has made her very clingy. But she's also started giving great cuddles. She's so close to crawling.

Progress is so sweet. I've only been waiting, oh, a year for this backsplash. But it's going up this weekend. What will we do if we finish all the projects?

Spinach salad for lunch and homemade burgers for supper. "We're" finally working on tiling our kitchen backsplash. I love seeing progress and before and after photos; a makeover is energizing.
