Belated Bathing Beauties

Seven days ago we began the Big Boy Bed Bonanza.  (Yesterday was better and today's nap has been the best yet.  I think that's because my fantastic twin mom friends wore them out a the twosies twinsies playdate today!  I'm grateful whatever the reason.)  My genius brain concocted a plan: take them to the pool so they are absolutely exhausted come bedtime.

It worked!  Aunt L was visiting and snapped some really cute shots of the fellas at the city pool.  Next time we'll take lifejackets and swim toys so the fun lasts even longer.

My favorite shot of the day!

My other favorite - I can never pick just one, you know!

There you have it - our belated bathing beauties. 

Water Babies

We're having a record-breaking heat wave in the Twin Cities this week, so we've rolled out the water toys.  Today we got together with E and her twin boys (who also turn one this week) and splashed, splashed, splashed!

Fearless Nathan dives right in!

 SPLASH!

 Matthew goes in a bit more carefully

A loved it!

G cools off in his favorite spot

Matthew takes a breather in the pack and play...look at those chompers!

Nathan turns his attention to chewing the ducky and eating grass

Back home during the late afternoon, the temp was 95, so we cooled down again with the water table.  Here's Nathan giving Matthew a faceful of water.  Yes, they're naked - and they love it!
