It's a Rough Life

Gavin's been living a really tough life lately. So tough, he wanted to share how bad it was with all of you. The sleeping picture came about while he was watching Toy Story. He just couldn't keep his eyes open.

Converting Gavin's Bed Into a Toddler Bed

Last Thursday Lindy called me at work and her first words were "You won't believe what Gavin did." Knowing Gavin, very little surprises me and I wasn't even surprised when Lindy informed me Gavin climbed at of his crib after his afternoon nap. We've talked about his ability to perform this task and we wondered when the day would come. I think I'm more surprised he wasn't climbing out several months ago. We decided to wait a few days to see how things progressed. He climbed out again and again over the next few days after naps and then yesterday morning after sleeping through the night. To make things a bit safer for Mr. Climber Man we converted his crib into a toddler bed last night. Here are some pics that show how Gavin climbs out as well as a before and after of the crib. The crib is made by Baby's Dream and is super awesome as it has several functions. It's a normal crib with two different mattress heights (one for a baby and one for a toddler), and converts from a crib into a toddler bed, and then into an adult full-size bed. I jokingly told Gavin last week he could take his bed with him to college. Isn't it nice to have options?

Our Home Theatre

It's done. Finally. Our home theatre is 100% installed and functional. The whole idea of building a home theatre started about two years ago. My wife and I are very much into music, movies, and TV and for nearly two years we have toyed with the idea of completely reinventing our living room experience. Until last week that experience included a 27" analog TV, DVD player, VCR, and two gaming systems (Wii and PlayStation 2). Today, the experience includes a complete lineup of high-definition video, high-fidelity audio, and a seamless integration of nearly everything digital in our lives. For the full story of how we created our home theatre - including pictures and the equipment we used - read on.
