hot hot hot

it has been so hot here! we have been keeping clothing optional (for the babies!), and we have not let it get us down- still going out to our mini pool (compliments of our neighbors) and the parks (that have shade) to keep us all from going insane. =)

bodes is still as smiley as ever. even when he wakes in the middle of the night after wetting through his outfit I will look down at his face and he is grinning from ear to ear. He is rolling more now and also loves paper. he does not love the heat, but is a trooper to let us go out and get some energy out- sitting in his stroller or haphazardly in the baby swing. he LOVES his sister, and has figured out how to pull her hair (vindication) when she tries to mess with him, lol. she loves him just as much. Pretends she hears him in the monitor during his nap so I will let her run up and play with him in his crib- oh iz. you crack me up.

a few days ago I had a "dora is on vacation" decision - so that along with our cable going down - and we have been quite happy with no tv, finding other things to keep us busy and going out on mini trips to the bookstore or indoor playroom. Izzy bought a new corduroy book with her earned pennies (for good behavior) plus some supplemental monetary help from mom and dad. A new favorite, along with Snuggle Puppy, and Mommy's best kisses.

we are preparing to go to the beach with friends in a few weeks, and are preparing by trying out our new swim gear. gotta love the built in floaties. =)
