Tales from The Belly Button Files

The little Belly Button that could.......

One day little belly button, one day.  Keep trying.

These guys here at the beach really know what it's all about:

And I have decided that there is a small chance I may get more enjoyment
 out of all this baby stuff than the baby will.
But just a small chance, really little.

( Thanks Grandma Beth! )

Have tub, will bathe.

That's the idea at any rate, 

although enforcing bathing can often be a losing battle. 

The Hannah Dog can vouch for that.

 But honestly, I don't have any real intention of sharing this bad boy with her:

Oh no, this one's all mine...

  ( He thinks I'm going to share, hah! )
Although I am considering allowing the baby to use it,
every once in a while...

Light Up My Life

Recently I ran into a girl at the grocery store who lives nearby.

She commented on hearing the happy sound of hammers coming from 

our direction, which surely must mean progress.

I informed her that it was likely our neighbours who were doing all the banging,

as we have far surpassed that stage (and them) and are onto 

bigger and better things.

Things that require copious amounts of wire:

All this wire is connected to the light switches:

Which are in turn connected to the light fixtures:

Which will one day light up all these amazing rooms that will soon be our home.

There is also vast amounts of natural light coming in to the upstairs sitting room 

from the cute little glass door leading out to the deck. 

Better yet, inside the good 'old' part of our lovely little home there is always 

a constant parade of things that never cease to light up my life:

Light'er up Dr. Nails ; )

Upstairs Downstairs, with Dog

For those of you who haven't had the pleasure of meeting the Hannah Dog,

she is very much a people dog, in fact I often think she IS a person.

She has a broad range of facial expressions, deep emotions, 

and a curious number of  noises can emanate from the depts of her hairy being.

She is also often desperate to be with you, and it doesn't matter who you are, 

as long as you are human she is there.

So, much to the Hannah Dog's delight Dr. Nails was working on the stairs, 

so she can finally climb up to the second floor. 

( You would not believe the looks we would get when she couldn't come up with us )

It is fortunate that we have reached this stage for me as well,
as navigating ladders is not necessarily in a pregnant girls' best interest.

Nor does it make her feel the least bit graceful either.
And it often sheds any morsel of dignity that she may be clinging to.

Anyways, now that it is easier to get upstairs,
 the newly built deck up there is also much more accessible
to both four legged and two legged creatures.

I can see me spending some time on this deck.
And I do believe Miss Hannah will just be happy to be here with me.
