Water Baby

I've come to realize that the camera that I had was just not good enough with a quick moving baby in the house.  By the time my shutter snapped Sarah had already moved on from whatever cute action/adorable face she was making or doing.  So our weekend began with a trip to Best Buy to buy a new camera (and yes, it does take great pictures inside without a flash, and yes, I did research and it was less expensive at best buy than online).  This camera has some fun modes that I'm sure I'll grow tired of quite quickly, but was fun to play with this weekend.  I'd like to thank my daughter and my dogs for being (somewhat) willing models.

On the way to the grocery store today my car thermometer registered 98 degrees, so while at Walmart we made an impulse buy of a baby pool.  I wasn't quite sure how this would go over as bath time is hit or miss as to whether it's fun or torture, but it was so hot today I figured she might like to cool down.  So after almost passing out blowing up the pool, we put her in her (already almost too small!) bathing suit and plopped her down.

She stayed in for almost 40 minutes until she decided she wanted to try to crawl out.

She was kicking, splashing, and having all sorts of fun!  Even without any toys in the pool with her, the idea of a hot day and water was enough. Next time I think I might try to bring out some shampoo and just use the baby pool as a bathtub.  Far less drama.

Toby thought the pool was a giant water bowl.  I think he was annoyed that the baby was in his bowl as opposed to Sarah being annoyed that Toby was in her pool.

With the temperature projected to maybe hit 100 tomorrow, and the pool only taking two buckets of water to fill, "See you later, alligator" pool may just have to make another appearance tomorrow.
