Loafkeeper Farm

Well, the floor is finished and covered in polyurethane. The walls still look like crap, but we haven't really decided what color we want to paint them. Plus, Cabol wants to put a real wall up behind where the dresser is, and possibly another one dividing 2/3 of the basement into a room that could be used as a bedroom. I guess that will be the next project when her parents visit this fall! Muahahaha.

There is still a little bit of cat pee that is wicking up in the corners when it is really hot and humid (which it has been all week). This should eventually stop - and any stains will eventually be hidden under base trim anyways. Once the new walls are installed.





And here's what Anya thought of it all:

Three months now. I've been back to work since July 2, so this last month Anya has spent her days with her zookeeper. I suppose there could be other things she can do that I don't know about because of that, but I think she's been pretty good about sharing her tricks with us. So, without further ado, here is what Anya was up to in July:

+ With the help of her Aunt Rebecca (a champion thumb sucker in her youth, I hear), Anya now knows that thumbs are quite tasty and good for slurping on.

+ She has almost total control of her head. She says that life is much more interesting now that she can turn hither and yon at will.

+ She can also sit up with help. She likes to sit up. Sometimes she likes to spit up, but mostly she likes to sit up.

+ She has mastered the friendly skies and took her first plane ride to / from NY.

+ As shown in the hippo picture a few days ago, Anya is an expert grabber. Since her hands are so tiny, though, she is a bit limited into what she can hold onto. So far the list includes Hippo (duh), her feet, my hair, my shirt, my bra, my dinner plate, and cat tails.
