Bath time!

For the first time since leaving the hospital, Verity had her first immersion bath!

Part of looking for hand-friendly solutions, we decided to try a basin style baby bath. I think it was Catherine who pointed out the uncanny resemblance to a salad bowl. True dat!

Fortunately, she enjoyed the experience far more than anticipated - apparently the hype on the "babies love it" attached to this tub ain't all spin...


So, baths = good. Huzzah!

basement quattro - march of the flooring

Matt's been moonlighting.

Slaving all day at the computer, he then parties the night away with dense foam underlay and particle board in the basement. Last night, he got the padding in place and has worked diligently on solving the problem of leveling layers.

Next stop: laminate!

Grandma McNab's Amazing Quilt

Grandma McNab has outdone herself again - this beautiful, bright and very fun quilt is just magnificent. When I was visiting in February we went to the fabric store and raided the flannel department. She put this together from a diverse and eclectic bunch of patterns.

There are zebras and hippos, glow-in-the-dark skulls and polka dots, penguins and daisies. The colours are mostly purple, blue and green. The back side is a cool jungle pattern with zebras.

THANKS GRANDMA! I'm overwhelmed with how beautiful it is!
