A good half-birthday

Today was pretty nice. Me and Mommy just worked around the house and played. That's my kind of day! We worked on the pool this morning, getting it all clear and pretty. Mommy says it's more fun to swim in when it's all clear. Now we just have to wait for it to heat up some. I heard Mommy say that we'll put a blanket on the pool to help it get warm. That's what I use blankets for, too! I wonder if I have one like the one it has, a solar blanket. I'll ask Mommy...

Here's what it looks like from where I sit outside while Mommy works.

I spent some time with my music gym and Mommy got pretty excited when she saw I was playing with Mr. Zebra with both hands. I guess she likes when I play with my toys, so we'll get along just fine.

And this afternoon, it was pretty warm, so Mommy told me I could wear only a shirt with my diaper. Isn't that fun! I can kick and squirm so much better without pants! So I got to wear my neato Montana shirt that Grandma C and Miss Karen Sue brought back from there. Whatta ya think, Grandma C? I think it's comfy.

Mommy got a little excited this afternoon because she gave me some juice in a bottle and I drank a little. Juice is pretty good. Mommy says she's been giving it to me in my tube, but I don't really know when she does that since it goes straight to my tummy. She says it helps me make messy diapers, which seems like a bad thing, but she says it's good. Mommy's weird sometimes. Since I drank it so fast, she gave me some milk too, and I drank a little, but that's not the way I like to drink milk, so I told her I didn't want any more of that. I thought she would have given up by now!
