Trent Rolls One Way

Tina and I observed Trent roll over last night. When motivated by a tempting rattlely object, he can now roll over his right shoulder onto his stomach. Once on his stomach, he can also nudge himself forward slightly if an object is placed in front of him outside his reach. He has not yet demonstrated the ability to roll from his stomach onto his back. And when the tempting object is placed to his left, he won't roll left to get it. Hopefully, this doesn't mean he's a republican.

Trent's Allergies

After Trent's four month pediatrician appointment, we had some blood tests done. The little guy had a pretty tough day. Four shots and a blood draw. The results of the blood tests are back and Trent is allergic to...nothing that we tested him for. Tina tells me that these tests have the potential to yield false negatives, but we're going to try reintroducing the foods we've been avoiding. Tonight we had pizza! Tomorrow night Chinese! It's good to have all the tools back in the box.

The Cow Skull

I promised to hang up the cow skull as soon as I had a place to put it. Now that I have the shop put together, I have that place. As promised, here is the cow skull.

Where Has Rhett Been?

Well, the short answer is supervising Trent and in the shop. I've been putting together a wood shop to pursue one of my many dreams. This one involves making furniture. I'm a big fan of Norm Abram's New Yankee Workshop. My shop isn't as well equiped as Norm's, but I can still do some stuff. I recently did some introductory exercises on the scroll saw from a very good book. I produced basic sillouettes of a cat, a fish, and a butterfly.
