Sorry -- April was a CRAZY month!

First off, apologies for neglecting my new blog! I have plenty of good excuses, but they all boil down to procrastination, so I guess they're not that good! Well, now that we are a 2 computer family (yay!!!!), I can blog when Steve's at home and we don't have to fight over computer time :)

So, this post is dedicated to SUMMER! It's here, and I'm so happy! Summer can be brutal in CA, but not when you have a pool nearby. What do I love about the pool??? I can carry my baby and swing her around and play, and never tire out, because I'm in the water! Weightless, free, wading.

Claire's getting heavier every day (she's a baby, so she grows). But in some ways things are getting easier. She's more coordinated now, and can stand straight up, which makes getting her in and out of the carseat easier than when she was just a dead-weight infant. She also holds her head up so well that I don't have to worry about that while I'm lugging her around. It's crazy how as she gets more independent, so do I, in little ways.

We've been taking lots of walks lately, because it hasn't been too hot. I work at home 3 days a week, so on those days, I try to get out and exercise a little. Now I can add the pool to our exercise routine. I'm lucky to have a girlfriend who lives close by to help me with Claire while we're at the pool. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking her by myself. We had a lot of fun, and I hope we do it a lot this summer!
