11 Months and Some Chrome

I did it.  With just a few days to spare, I took a photo of him at 11 months of age.  

When you say smile, he really goes for it.

I don't know how photographers do it.  I take 5,000 photos that mostly look like this...

He'd rather stab his eye out then have me take a picture of him. 

But sometimes they look like this...

Too cool for school

The bathroom is slowly trudging along.  We have faucets.  We have hardware.  Between 1 and 3pm today we should have a shower enclosure.  Of course during Palmer's nap time.  Brilliant.  

And on the 8th day, God made chrome

The cabinets are dirty as all get out, but they are coming together.

The furniture legs for the vanities and the mirrors are on the schedule for a week or two more.  Don't you love the certainty with which cabinetry makers operate?  At least once the shower enclosure is in we will be fully operable.  Which is key since the Pete's mom, dad, brother and sister fly in today.  Then his other brother and sister-in-law (aka the baby whisperer) come in tomorrow.  Everyone's piling in for the baptism this weekend.
