Trip to Phoenix:
We leave tomorrow for a house-hunting trip to Phoenix. Jonathan, Christian and I were all flying out together. But then Jonathan decided to drive his car and our weekend belongings to Phoenix so he can leave his car at my sister's house and thereby leaving us just one car to drive out when moving day arrives.
So Jonathan will pick us up at the airport tomorrow afternoon and then we'll all fly back home together on Sunday.
I'm a bit anxious about the whole thing. I don't care for Jonathan making that 8 hour drive alone. But he's a trooper ... I'm sure he'll be just fine (and probalby enjoy the break from packing!)
And whenever we've flown with Christian, its been the two of us, so we can tag-team. So I'm weighting the pros and cons of the Baby Bjorn carrier and the stroller.
And Christian is much more active than he was the last time we flew. So ... we'll see how it goes. I'm hoping he'll take snooze on the hour-long flight.
Progress on the House:
At last, it would appear our roof is fixed. We were told the roof was on the verge of being "catasrophic." So we're fortunate that the major problem was resolved, and the persistent leak that we've had in the entryway has finally been found after three years. WHEW!
We got a Wagner Paint Crew sprayer so we could get the painting done more quickly. So Jonathan has a new toy. Its really intended for outdoor use, so that means we have to cover everything. We had to hang plastic sheets from the living room ceiling so as to contain the spray. Had to cover all windows, the kiva fireplace, doorbell, knobs, etc. I do mean everything. So setting up was time consuming, and cleaning up the spayer is time consuming. But it saves Jonathan's back ... and looks great!
We ordered more rock for the yard. It could still use A LOT more ... but at least the most visible areas look nice and uniform for "curb appeal."
Jonathan has been working hard to get things packed up and moved into the Pod. He's truly amazing! He keeps going, and going, and going!
Christian
Christian is crawling all over the place! His latest favorite activity is to push a soft red cube toys out in front of himself, and then follow it. He's able to flip the cube around, so it then moves any-which-way, and he follows after it. Its so amusing to watch! I'll have to try getting a video.
I like to see the way he connects things in his mind. For example, yesterday I was holding him and I grabbed a cup of water for myself. Immediately, Christian reached for it and put it to his mouth and started driking. Previously, any drinks of water in a cup have come to him when he's in his high chair. So I was impressed to see him make the connection that the cup is for drinkiing water ... no matter where he's sitting.
