How much wood, would a wood chuck chuck?

Anika arrived 3 weeks early. Early enough for us

• Not to have the car seat installed
• Not to have any nursery room furniture assembled
• Not to have the bedroom part of the house done
• Still have all the boxes of hardwood sitting around the house

See we thought we had plenty of time, and I was in quite a bit of denial about the coming baby, even in the last trimester, but time was up. I went into labor and Bob immediately went to install the car seat. We came home from the hospital and the next day Bob put together the changing table. Two days later dad arrived to start working on the hardwood.

We selected old mission maple from Chelsea Plank Flooring, a local company, and went with variable lengths (3", 4" and 5"). And here's what it looks like:

And what our living room looked like for the first 8 weeks of Anika's life:

Talking

OK so this is not home improvement related, but we've been busy with this little beast the past few weeks. We've finally reached a point of laughing/talking not fussing/screaming. I call this a parenting success.
