I heart a/c

First of all, a note about videos. There are a lot of new ones even since the last post - at least the top three of the videos on the right (not left, as I said a few posts ago, stupid becky) are new since Friday's post. So. Go watch them, my kid is cute. I have proof.

More proof is below, in the form of photos from today. First, I decided it would be an interesting trick to try to take a mom/baby photo while we were sitting in Lucy's glider. The trick was to get her to smile - so I had to tickle her while I was taking the photo, which as you can see made it so either I looked psychotic, or the photo was too dark. Whatever.

Then, tonight at dinner, Lucy had her first popsicle. I attempted to capture the hilarity that was this endeavor, but I feel these pictures are seriously inadequate.

She seemed to think I must be really confused - kept sort of pointing at the popsicle and then making her "uuuh?" question noise at me. Like - "maybe, mother, you don't know this is cold? And therefore pretty difficult for me to eat. and I WANT it, because it is strawberry deliciousness. but its COLD. You don't see. Does anyone understand this?

See, I try to eat it - I put it in my mouth like this -

And then - it just isn't working. Its broken. I can't eat this."

So. Thus ended the popsicle - she didn't really eat it. Just lay it down and gave it up, demanding warmer fruit.

I am going to eat more of my pizza and drink more of my beer - and turn on my air conditioner, thank god for whoever thought of that lovely idea. Go watch some videos.
