Leah is 6 months old today! (Pictures to come once she's awake, bathed, dressed, and bowed.) Last week we noticed a tiny red spot on her bottom gums-getting a tooth? "No, she's not even 6 months old," we thought. The red spot eventually turned white and now her first little tooth is feelable! I can't believe my baby girl has her first tooth already. Isaac was 7 months when his first came in. Thankfully, both kids have been heavenly teethers (we didn't even know Isaac was teething until we felt the tooth in his mouth!). Leah is just her happy little self-now adorned with a pearly white. As soon as it's really visible, I'll post some pictures.
Now, on to that tunnel-well, the light at the end of it anyways. The basement is really, actually, truly, about 2 weeks from total completion (not counting decorating or organizing time)!!!!!! We finally paid someone to finish the rest of the mudding for the walls and to do the texture-it looks great! We painted the ceiling and the bathroom on Saturday. The plumber was here this morning hooking up the water in the bathroom so we officially have 2 bathrooms (or at least we will once Jake hooks up the toliet). We ordered the carpet and it will be installed next Monday. Trim should be in next Wednesday and we'll paint and install that shortly after. Ahh...516 more square feet of living space. Plus an unfinished half of my basement back to livable and usable (it's currently housing everything that was on the fisnished side plus some stuff that will go back on the finished side plus everything that's supposed to be stored over there). I will no longer have 2 couches in my living room or a dresser in my dining room. What may be most exciting is that I won't have too look at white drywall dust ALL OVER MY HOUSE! As cute as little white footprints are when Isaac sneaks downstairs and then comes back up, my poor Swiffer wetjet can only take so much! Here's a few before pictures until I track down the during pictures and take the after pictures.

That will be so nice for you to have finished! Building was a lot of work, I can't imagine living in the same house you are building in! You guys are troopers! Good luck with the teething...sounds like they take it a little better than mine! Michelle turns 2 tomorrow and is still getting her 4 eye teeth! It has not been fun! Talk to you later!
