Baby swim and other bits

We've had a busy week or so. We've had play dates again with Miss M and L, last week at M's house and this week at ours. This required serious cleaning. The good news is that the house is now clean (mostly). Play dates require a certain amount of baby proofing that we are not up to yet but nobody died.

A has officially cut two teeth completely. They've not all the way up yet, but they're distinctly teeth. He's pretty cute. No, he hasn't bit me yet, although his latest trick seems to be pulling my hair. That's got to stop.

C had off Saturday, Sunday, and blessed Monday, which was fabulous after the long slog he's been putting in at work. This meant he could go to swim class with us Monday, which was super. A was a champion swimmer Monday. He was submerged and while I still don't think he enjoyed it, he didn't get upset or insulted by it. The other two babies in class bailed before the end of class - Miss M was submerged for the first two times. She looked as insulted and mad as A did the first time he went under. The other baby was just tired at the end of class, I think.

Saturday we took advantage of the sunny San Diego weather and went to the SD Wild Animal Park, which was great. They were having a camellia show. I might have to get myself one; they're pretty, like peonies. I love peonies.

We hosted a play date here yesterday. Everyone is fascinated with our cats. Jake was not prepared for babies that move faster than ours, but he was still faster than the babies. Niles got on top of the bookshelves and peered down from a safe perch. A is now apparently frightened by the vacuum cleaner, which is not good. It's amazing how quickly these things come on, like flipping a switch.

We haven't gotten A's passport yet, but we need to since we now have tickets to Italy.
