Things didn’t go according to plan, so more time with the Little Man.

Last night I told myself that I would be okay with sleeping in a little, doing some work around the condo, and then heading to Columbia for a few hours. So this morning I stayed in bed until about 7:15 and then watched Liz nurse Luke. After that we took him on a little walk around the complex. It was nice and overcast, but very humid. While we were out Liz learned that the day’s child care plans had fallen through. She had a morning and an afternoon meeting, so I volunteered to cover those. In between them I had time for a haircut and trip to the grocery store.

This afternoon didn’t go quite as smoothly. He napped okay and took a bottle, but when my parents came over to see him he just went nuts. He started wailing and kind of disrupted Liz’s meeting. He sort of calmed down until Liz could come nurse him. This evening we went on a great walk at the AG Center. It wasn’t too hot and the light was lovely.

Still not done, but closer.

It was a pretty low key day on the job site. I started loading up my trailer and packing my tools. I also finished up a couple spots of flooring that I had overlooked. We went out to order stair treads and had to go a couple of different places. After that it was lunch time, and so we dined at La Hacienda on Nolensville Road. When we returned I cleaned up some and then hit the road. Tomorrow I will load up all of my tools and the leftover materials and head to the farm. Not sure if I will do much work there or just unload. Today was miserably hot, which really demotivated me. Tomorrow is supposed to be even worse, before it cools on Wednesday.

Back at the condo Luke was in a good mood. We played with his bookimal (book/animal) and he nursed a lot. He will get a bath later. Liz said that he pooped several times, which was good to hear, since he didn’t at all yesterday.

Busy day for the Little Man.

This morning we took Luke up into town to see the project my dad and I have been working on, and where his grandparents will soon be living. He also met their neighbor, Mr. Holt. After that we went for a walk at the AG Center. We only did two laps instead of our usual three. He was getting a little antsy, plus we spent a bit of time talking with a couple that had two springer spaniels. I was afraid that Liz might offer to trade Luke for the smaller one! Back at the condo everybody napped for a while. This afternoon we did tummy time and just relaxed.

My parents came by this evening. Unfortunately due to his napping and feeding they weren’t able to see much of him. Hopefully they will be able to return this week. He is a little fussy now but nursing seems to be calming him down.
