A few things to report today!

First off, Wyatt is officially ONE MONTH OLD!  I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast, it really seems like yesterday I was freaking out because they were sending me home from the ER in what I knew was actual labor.  He’s definitely growing, and staying a little more awake during the day.  He loves flapping his arms and legs, and boy is he a GRUNTER.  This baby grunts all the time.  ❤

We had an almost-adventure with Tatum this morning as well.  Lately she’s been getting up in the morning and wanting to play with her dolls in her room.  I usually keep a baby gate on the outside of her door to prevent her from wandering around the house if she wakes up at night.  Wade always told me he didn’t think it was necessary because he thought she’d just come straight to our room.  I told him I just didn’t want to take the chance of her wandering outside or getting into something in the living room or kitchen that she shouldn’t.  Since I’m the mommy, I put the gate up.  *grin*

This morning she was playing with her dolls, and I went and took the gate down but left the door to our room open and the monitor on so I could hear her.  A few minutes went by and I hear her closet open and shut, then I don’t hear anything.  I walk down the hall and she’s sitting in the foyer on our front door mat with her sandals on.  I ask her where she’s going and she told me to go back to my room.  Since she was just sitting there I didn’t think anything of it.  No sooner did I walk back in our room but I heard the click of the front door deadbolt and went running back for the front door just in time to see her open it right up, no trouble at all, and start on her way outside.  GAH!  “What Mommy, I was JUST going outside.”

So tomorrow’s project is a chain lock for the top of the front door in addition to the deadbolt…… just in case. *sigh*

Started brainstorming ideas for the decor of my booth at Lonestar Mercantile this afternoon too.  I got some neat barnwood shelving units and I think Wade and I have come up with a neat configuration of those (Not shown below, because I still have to paint and redo some of the shelves) plus some pipe and cedar shelves for half of the back wall and some pipe hangers for my friend Stacie’s t-shirts and whatnot.  I think with a little more creativity and thought we can make it look really good, but I won’t lie, I’m slightly intimidated by the booth decorating game some of the other vendors have brought to the table!

Tomorrow we have to find some kind of indoor activity for Tatum to burn off some steam because it is just too dang hot outside for any outdoor activities.  I wish I could think of something more fun than the mall!
