It's Bloody Hot!!

Summers in Las Vegas are always tough. You'd think that having sun would be fun, but when that sun beats down on you at 105 or more degrees, it's not fun! The wading pool is great, and Kaeden is still having lots of fun, but we've also gotten to go with my friend Liz to a big pool - which is always an adventure for little kids! Kaeden has been twice now, and he has no fear of the water! You put the little floaties on and he just jumps right in! Next summer we'll definately have to do some toddler swim lessons!




We've also had to work on being entertained while indoors. When it gets over 105, it's just too hot to be outside, even in the water. I've been working on getting Kaeden to sit and read, and I thought he wasn't interested until the other day when I came into the living room and found this...




I was ecstatic to see him flipping through on his own. He's still not into going in order, he would rather do random pages and all the books have to have something moving on it (flipbooks) or he doesn't stick around long, but we're working on it! Books with balls seem to be his favorite at the moment.

And Kai has been becoming more aware of his surroundings lately. When he sees movement he tries to follow it with his head, he responds to sounds, turning to see where it came from which is usually Kaeden. He's also really squirmy, finally figured out he doesn't have to keep his limbs tucked cuz he's got room, so he flails about with arms and legs, smiling at everything. I've been trying to get the smile on film and only just succeeded the other day...



So fun to see the personality starting to come out :-) Can't wait to see what else this little guy has in store for us.
