Summertime with Babies

June is my favorite weather month in Colorado.  Cool nights and long, warm, (not too warm), sunshiny days make life in this beautiful state a wonderful experience.   Life in the summertime with a baby can also be a wonderful experience. 

Here are some of my favorite “summer life with baby” experiences:
     ·Baby bare feet.  Who can resist kissing them?
     ·No coat needed.  Moms are coat hangers.  It’s nice to be free of that responsibility for a season.
     ·Popsicles.  Need I say more?
     ·Plastic baby pools.  I can’t think of a cheaper form of fun in the summer.  It feels good on big people toes too.
     ·Sleeping baby in a diaper only.  Awwww.
     ·Baby sun hats.  I didn’t think you could make a baby cuter, but somehow sun hats manage to do the trick!
     ·Relatives visiting.  Always great to have an extra set of hands around.
     ·Stroller naps.  This is always good for a late afternoon fussy gussy.
     ·The sweet smell of sweaty babies.
     ·Pool time=Bath time.  The garden hose works well for cleansing too.

You may have noticed I have not included in this blog my non-favorite “summertime life with baby” experiences.  Let’s not go there just yet.  Winter will be here soon enough.

Happy Parenting,
