And the days go by

Only 1 day left until Benoit comes home and I can't wait. He's a huge help with Sophie and I love hanging out with him in the evenings. He's been gone all week, so I'm especially ready to see him again. We're planning for a date night on Sat, which is always fun. His mom is coming in next weekend, so this is the last chance for a date night for a few weeks. Not sure what we'll do, but I'm thinking about seeing The Invention of Lying - sounds hilarious.

Sophie had another shot today but she only cried for about 10 seconds. She's also has a diaper rash that just won't go away and the nurse recommended A&D ointment, which I've never heard of. So I'm off to buy that this afternoon and hope for the best. We've been 'airing' her out most evenings and using a hairdryer on low heat/low speed to dry her bum between diaper changes. It takes forever!

In other news, Sophie started pulling up on her own. I often find her standing at the side of the crib when I go to get her up from a nap. She pulled up on her bookshelf the other day and started crying b/c she couldn't figure out how to get down. So cute! I pulled out some 12 month clothes for her - thanks Neely! - and have started packing up 3-6 month clothes. It's always so sad to put them away b/c I know she'll never be that little again. Yet another reminder that my baby is growing up so fast.

I'm super pumped to have my bath tile wrapped up today. It was quite an ordeal to get the right edge for the bath tile and after multiple trips to the tile store, I've got the right one. Carlos is installing it today and then the glass folks will come tomorrow to install the shower. (Strike that, just got a call from the glass folks and they will not install until Monday! Aaagh! So no finished shower until then. Boo hoo!) I'm likely to take the longest shower ever once it's all done! Not to imply I haven't been showering elsewhere, it's just that I'm so stinking excited about my new one. :) This week I hung all the towel rods and last weekend we hung the new lights. Almost done! I'll post pics when it's finished, but here are some of the progress to date. Enjoy!
