Rollin’ (over).
Well, Luke hit a big milestone a couple of evenings ago – he rolled over by himself for the first time. We were doing tummy time, and apparently he had enough of being on his tummy, so he rolled over to his back. He has done it a half dozen or so times since. According to Liz’s chart the doctor gave her, that isn’t expected to happen until six months. Exceptional child. This evening during tummy time I filmed him with the hopes he would do it again, but he didn’t. He relaxed with me on the bed for a while after that. I put on his new John Deere socks that Liz’s mother gave him. Tonight he is supposed to get a bath and be weighed, but I’m not sure if either will happen. It is getting pretty late and everybody is rather tired. Two nights ago he also started sleeping in the pack-and-play. It has been a little bit of a difficult transition, but hopefully he will continue to adjust.
Motivated Monday.
Short post because I’m exhausted. Arrived at the crack (pictures below). Put down more flooring in another upstairs unit. Left after sunset (pictures below). Expecting more of the same tomorrow.

It has been a pleasant day so far and we have enjoyed the milder temperatures. We went to the Ag Center for a walk this morning. Luke stayed awake for most of our first lap, then slept for the remaining two. The fresh air felt great and it was nice to walk around. Back at the condo we all took naps for a while. This afternoon we did tummy time and he lifted his head very high and held it up for a long time. Later this evening he’ll get a bath. Busy day!
Not a short day.
Got started at six this morning and finished up at 8:15 this evening. Unfortunately the long hours don’t equal maximum productivity. I worked on flooring but it took a while to get set up, and even once I did, circumstances beyond my control forced me to lay the flooring in from the wrong direction. That caused considerable frustration and delays. That, coupled with a very awkward floor plan (featuring lots of angles) caused things to move much more slowly than they should have. On the bright side it wasn’t very hot today. Also on the bright side tomorrow is Sunday.
Short day.
We started at six this morning and I left at two. It was not a very productive day, although we did make some progress. We mainly focused on finishing up little details on the cabinets like drawers and doors. My dad will probably keep working on them tomorrow while I start the floors. It should only be 90 degrees tomorrow versus today’s 95. It was pretty nice to only work eight hours today, but I won’t make a habit of it. We really like these cabinets and I’m excited to put them in the farm house. The flooring should go down pretty easily, although it is a little more complicated than usual because the floors are angled.
Hitting the wall early.
It was the first time all week that I’ve hit the dreaded six hour wall of tiredness. We got started about six again this morning and made incredible progress. We did the kitchen and all of the vanities in unit four very quickly. Then after lunch we started assembling drawers, and progress slowed to a crawl. I took a very brief nap and then started preparation for the floors. That got old quickly so I installed the drawer sliders on all four units. It was after seven when that was done. I wrapped up the day by going up on the roof top terrace on one unit to check out the view.
Luke was relaxed this evening and seemed to enjoy his bath, despite what the pictures below might indicate.
Still making fists.
Luke was pretty relaxed this evening except for when he got hungry. The he raised cain. He did a little tummy time and seemed to enjoy that okay. He is now wearing size 3-6 month clothes. At least uppers.
Feeling ahead of schedule in Nashville.
Another thirteen hour plus day means that we have made a lot of progress. We completed a full kitchen, all of the baths in two units, and made several corrections to previous work. The rest of the flooring was delivered and placed around the units. I will probably start installing it on Friday. Thankfully there was no rain today, but the heat was pretty intense. Tomorrow we should finish the basics of the cabinets, and my dad will probably install the doors and drawers on Friday. The work has really been pretty enjoyable – certainly better than putting siding on the farm house. So far this week has been a nice diversion. No pictures today because I was a bit tired at the end of my shift.
Tuesday night bath.
Luke had a pretty big night. Lots of eating and a bath. He handled the latter very well.
