So. We are midsummer here in Tucson and while the rest of the nation is seeing record-breaking heat, I am amazed by how few days overall we have seen temps rise over 100 degrees. I'm usually cursing the weather more regularly by now. Unless my memory fails me. It could happen.
Last night we had some nice rains, but I'm wanting more. Monsoons are my favorite time of year here, when the rains occur with gusto. Don't like being short-changed on nature's most beautiful symphony. It's why we endure the heat, after all.
Sophie is blooming like a morning-glory, and I'm loving it. She's so much more interactive these days! She plays peekabo and ball with me. She shares her food with me and Lucy. She fishes toys from the bathtub while I bathe (this was my solution to her new mobility and blossoming independence. I tried a little chair and table set up but she was bored by that after two baths. It was bathtub fishing or a 4:30am shower. I chose the fishing.)
Anyway, it's fun these days, even if I do get a lot of exercise chasing after her. I can't begin to imagine how exhausted I'll be when she walks!
She has both her top teeth in, finally, although they are still just tiny nubs. I'm just glad they finally broke through the gums. I suspect her recent 3:30am wakings have been due to teething, so we shall see tonight if I am correct.
She is napping peacefully next to me right now as I consider sneaking in some housework. I'm thinking maybe I'll take the day off on that. Three days in a row of waking up before dawn can catch up to a person. And since I'm the only member of our household who is bothered by a mess, I think I can get away with playing hooky.
And how are you all today?

We're in a rainy stretch too - a week or so of daily rain and muggy air. It is very nice compared to the over 100 days we were having before.
Tiny's napping on my lap right now. We took her to an event at the museum last night and she just had the best damn time lol... She got so much attention! She didn't cry a bit and let all these people ooh and ahh over her. She's still a great little buddy. She doesn't want to be off or away from me very much at all, but sits on my lap pretty happily as I paint and I can still get enough done for life to be ok. There's a lot that's just not really happening right now, but that's ok. I haven't been able to sneak out of bed early in the morning much. It's kind of driving me nuts to not be able to just hop out of bed at 4 and start my day. I guess it's kind of crass to complain about baby making me sleep in, but it's just a variation of the problem you have. I like to go to bed about 10 and get up at 4.
My daughter just mowed the lawn and took all the old clothes to Goodwill. That's pretty awesome.
