So I am still getting this home networking thing down. Ever since we moved in I have not been able to access my smart homes router. What this means is that the ghost of Sammy the previous owner is still running the house. It is kind of freaky. Basically he created a bunch of macros for the house lighting that run at certain times of the day. Like in the morning the bathroom light will come on and off at a certain time. At night certain lights will come. Last night as I went to bed I noticed the light was on under the stairs. I wonder why that was set to go on? Sometimes the front house lights will go on. The flood lights in the back will turn themselves on. I don't mind the programming. I wonder if all of the cameras are sending information somewhere? That would be freaky. It would be like we are in our own reality show and someone else is watching us. Once I can get into the router I should be able to override everything. The problem is even though I have reset it I sill cannot access the routers configuration page through its gateway so I don't know how to get in. Who knows, maybe I'll just install my own router and switches. Of course even knowing where every ethernet cable is going in the house is going to be a chore. I hear they have testers for that. I should get a network admin to come to the house and set it all up. I can do it, but it is going to require alot of trial and error. I should do it though and increase my skills.

On the baby side Brennon is doing well. He is getting so heavy. Already it is a chore to carry him. He is not like "baby fat" kind of heavy. He is more like muscles kind of heavy. Last night as I was downstairs listening to the baby monitor all of a sudden I heard his mobile above his crib make music. I thought, Holly must be up there. But she wasn't. I thought, "that is definitely not automated". Then when I went up there I knew what had happened. Brennon had managed to slide himself from the center of the crib to the railing and start kicking the bed with such a force that it was moving. The mobile was going off. That makes me think if I install buttons in his crib he will have the power to turn on and off music and soothe himself to sleep. He slides on his back right now. He still doesn't like tummy time. I wonder if I set him up with some kind of baby roller skate for his back could he propel himself on the floor. That'd be cool. Although he'd probably bump his head. Eh, better not.

So Brennon starts the night crying at around midnight. My shift is supposed to be between 12 and 3 and Holly's is between 3 and 5. As a non mr.mom kind of guy I realize I am not as educated as I think about babies. Holly has it all down and can calm him pretty quick. I am still not sure what to do, so I go over the checklist. I decided I should get him a bottle. So I go downstairs to the kitchen and lo and behold Brennon has like 10 different sized bottles. So I grab one and then noticed the top doesn't fit. One bottle I had grabbed before I poured formula in and it went all over the floor. Apparently some bottles have removable bottoms. Then I notice the rubber thing doesn't fit. So I start mixing and matching. Eventually after 10 minutes of him wailing and me wailing as well I think I had finally rigged up a bottle. So I give it to him and he starts gobbling it up. Holly, of course, had woken up and was getting him a real bottle. In the end she got him to sleep but I have a feeling he woke up again. All in all he has been fussy this week. I think though he just keeps on growing so fast that he may end up kicking down his bed and doing a forty yard dash. I just hope I can catch him.
