Bottoms Up!

A two-dollar garage sale pool and 80 degrees later, the two cutest babies I've ever seen have been doin' some serious nakey time in the back yard.  Had to document a typical poolside afternoon for you baby-lovin' folks out there...

 I'm not sure why Kaila looks so concerned. She's our little go-getter. At the beach she ate fist-fulls of sand before I got to her, it was like a black mustache on her lips and chin. She dove face-first into the seaweed to snag a bite, and she leans her whole body into whatever water source she can find, just asking to be submerged in it.  I think we are going to have our hands full with this one!!  

 Suddenly shrieks and cries alerted me to some serious baby-angst. Kaila is a really easy baby, until she's had enough. Then, watch out! You've unleashed a beast! She has one loud set of lungs and doesn't stop screaming and heaving until she's physically and emotionally comforted. Upon further inspection, I found the incriminating teeth marks imprinted on her little heel. Josiah bit her. And then, I could hardly believe it. She turned her little head and gave Josiah a searing death glare that was so intense I think it heated up the pool water... Either that or somebody peed.

 Either way, I saw it. 

The ensuing time-out for biting his sister. Insert a steady whine and one little spank for getting out of the chair, and you have a typical time-out. Notice, by the way, the awesome outdoor table Ryan made for us. Well done babe! 

 I tried to keep the kids decent for the pictures, but Josiah insisted on taking his suit off. 

Can't say I blame him. ; )

Awwww, Bottoms Up to summer days!
