To prepare for Melody’s return to work last week, we hauled in a mini fridge to her office for milk storage, and dropped off a small couch for my office at the same time. My in-laws are back in the house to provide daycare service as we prepare for the real thing in June. Westley’s been getting better at keeping his head up during tummy time, and grasping at objects with some apparent intent. He’s also napping longer and spacing out intervals between feeds, but mainly in the daytime. His earlier bedtime also means keeping the house quiet during dinner, which makes the new season of Game of Thrones nearly impossible to hear without playing subtitles. Meanwhile, we’ve been continuing to upgrade our home with smarter devices, including a Rachio sprinkler system and an Ecobee thermostat. I’ve also been tinkering with our yard, installing a bigger deck box, repairing irrigation malfunctions, replacing the spa circuit breaker, and putting up Ikea string lights on the pergola. The timing was perfect for Memorial Day weekend, where our in-laws came over to play with the baby and chow down some char-grilled kebobs.
