He loves playing in the water so we got him a wading pool. But
he's used to the 92 degree pool he has swimming classes in, and
we filled his with cold water from the hose... he was a bit startled
but adjusted quickly. |
We spent Memorial Day 2003 at the Yuba River, with Cory, David
and Eva. Eva and Kit had their first experience with SAND! (Note
Kit's tiny teva-like sandals.) |
Kit threw his entire body into exploring sand and had a blast...
Di took him to a tiny pool upstream to rinse off before lunch. |
Hey, picnics have good food!! |
Winding down with Shell,in the shade of the beach umbrella. |
Worn out, washed off, tummy full, hot... he fell sound asleep
under the umbrella. |

Mothers Day (& Shell's birthday) at the Sacramento Zoo. Note
zoo-themed outfit! (The hat didn't last long.)
May 11, 2003 |
People and big hats were more interesting than big animals.
|
He fell asleep about halfway through the zoo. |
In late Feb, he was still using his first 'crawling' method...
upside down, back arched, using his head and feet to push forward
- it's VERY effective. |
