20 Months Old (and a house update)

lounging in the recliner
He's twenty months old and he is so much fun. He weighs 31 lbs and 4 oz. He is 35 1/4 inches tall. He is so ticklish and such a ball of energy. He's wearing mostly 2T, some 24 months clothes. He loves to be outside, even if he has to wear a coat and hat to do so. He is getting more hair and is a little daredevil at times.

Stacking!

    

This month he managed to climb out of this crib. It was a pretty good scare for us but he hasn't tried since. We're taking the wait and see approach because we're not ready for a big boy bed, even if he is.  He likes to climb in the recliner in his playroom/the dining room and just in the last week he's figured out how to climb the kitchen chairs. I'm just waiting for the day when I find him on the table!

In the toy bin...

What a face!

Hi Mom...


This month we're also back to lactose intolerant (soy milk or lactose free); he seems okay with yogurt, cheese, and a little cows milk.  Too much spells problems.


Hey, Stop taking pictures of me...


As for the house, we are still waiting for two bids to come in. We've painted nearly everything and hope to finish the laundry room and touch up of the living room and office this weekend. The current plan, if we can afford it all (missing bids will tell)...remove the backdoor (close off permanently) and sunken patio, move back door to garage and make new ground level patio there, do an epoxy coating floor inside (to look like a granite tile), spray foam insulate the walls, PVC wainscoting panels on the lower half of the walls and the drywall we just painted will stay on the top. Outside, add a backflow preventer to both the storm drain and the sewage drain and have the footer tile cleaned/replaced as needed. In the crawl space, lower the rim of the sump pump pit so that the crawl space can fully drain on its own, maybe dig a trench around the exterior with a channel back to the pit. Really hoping, and praying, for either some nice weather so we can get out of the house more, or for some work to start getting done.
