SEAHAWKS WIN!!
That is really all that needs to be said about this point. They now get a Bye week, so they do not have to play in the first round of the playoffs next week. And, they get home field advantage so all the playoff games that they play will be in Seattle. WOOHOO!!
As the Seahawks game was starting, I started a load of dishes and noticed that there was water on the floor. I cleaned it up and went to watch the game. Part way through I went back in, while holding Olivia and noticed more water on the floor so I asked Mike to investigate. GREAT! There was about an inch of standing water under the sink and everything was soaked. We pulled everything out, cleaned up the water, and called the handy man to come and look at it. On the phone he said that we must have bumped the pipe and loosened it -_- The pipes should not come apart (and that is exactly what it did) with just a pump. He did come out and fixed it. He told us to air it out and to not use the water for a little while. Before he showed up I noticed some spots on the wall under the sink. I asked him about it and he thinks it is mold -_- great... one more thing to deal with.
Mike and I have been watching TONS of home improvement type shows so that we have somewhat of a better idea when we go to buy a house. I think that my favorites are Property Brothers and Holmes Inspection. We watch them both on Netflix. Holmes Inspection is about people getting scammed by home inspectors and buy houses with way too many problems. Holmes comes in and does his own inspection and fixes all the problems. Most of the problems that he deals with is mold (and here is the point!) so we now feel a little more informed about mold, how it starts and when to be really concerned. We will clean it the best we can as it is not very much and will be letting the landlord know.
Little miss Olivia may not be rolling over a ton yet but she is rotating herself around the blanket! I wish that I had gotten pictures of the first time that I noticed it because she did a 180.
My brother Ben came over for dinner and we made homemade burgers and fries. YUMMY! As I took the burgers off the griddle, I reach for the sides to push the griddle farther onto the counter to let it cool and OUCH! Yup, I burned myself. Boy does that hurt! Thankfully (although that is mean to say) Mike had burned himself when Olivia was very young and I had to go to the store and get him some burn cream. It really does help. It does not look so bad right now but I have a feeling that it will tomorrow.
We have this WONDERFUL two piece swing for Olivia. It is great to be able to put her in and when we travel, we usually take the top part that can bounce. As I was holding her up today and letting her stand on her feet, I noticed that she was having a hard time standing up all the way and straightening out her back. So what do I do? Google! It says that rockers are great and can really help a baby calm down but their time in it should really be limited to an hour or less a day.... OOPS! She definitely spends more time in it than that. So while we were both home the last four days, even before I knew this, we have tried to give her more floor time and more cuddle time on our laps. I am also thinking that I need to get people to babysit for Olivia's sake so that she can stop being bored of us :)
I'll add in a few things here as I wait for the video to load. We have gotten a small dusting of snow the last day or so. It really isn't that much but I do love to watch it. Even our kitty cat Troy likes to sit in the window and watch the flakes float down from the sky.
This video is from yesterday morning. I was woken up by the sounds of her grunting in her bed. I waited to see if she would start to cry. After a couple of minutes Mike got up, thinking that I was asleep, to go put her binky back in her mouth. I told him to wait as I thought she had just wiggled free and was playing with her feet. That was not the case and she was still swaddled but laying there content and this is what I heard:
Olivia ended the night and weekend playing with her dad. Oh how I love to sit back and watch!
