It's hot (and I'm not wearing pants)

Temperatures have been soaring here in Southern California. Most days are in the upper 90's and low 100's. Evenings haven't been cooling off much either. It's too hot to go to the park with Kate, and the car gets sooo hot from standing that we're not running many errands during the day either.

We've set up a baby pool in our backyard for Kate to splash around in - which is good, since she still doesn't like her baths. The nice thing about having a pool in the backyard -- playing without clothes on!

Another fine weekend

of reading (OK eating the book) and swimming. Kate has a new swimsuit and enjoyed splashing with Daddy and her friend Petra.

(Kate's cold seems to be over, by the way.)

At the Pool

Kate had her first dip in the pool today! Our development has a baby pool that was just her speed. We spent more time putting sunscreen on her than what she spent in the pool, but she really enjoyed it! No tears or crying, and lots of smiles and coos!
