Kendall, her Nana and I visited Tucson for the second time this year! After I got over a stomach bug (which had lovely timing and decided to join me on the airplane) we all had a great time.
It was 107 degrees so we did a lot of hanging out at Auntie M's pool.
And some experimenting with different floating devices in the pool.
And some playing with Mommy in the pool! We decided it was time for Kendall to get used to getting her head wet in the pool so I dunked her under real quick and she handled it like a pro. She was a little shocked at first but didn't cry at all and then smiled at me! I think it was much harder on me and after the first time, I couldn't bring myself to do that to her again ... or maybe I couldn't bring myself to do that to ME again!
My cousins Kevin and Candice brought their dogs, Shiraz and Stout over for dinner one night. I hadn't realized how much Kendall missed her dogs until I saw her face light up when she saw those dogs!
And we finally got a really cute picture of Kendall and Izzy together! But why does it look like my 7 month old baby is bigger than 2.5 year old Izzy??
Kendall did well on both flights (including the one where I had to practically throw her at the flight attendant to use the barf bag). She no longer feels that it is proper to sleep in public places, however, and it appears that this includes airplanes. She took very short catnaps on both flights and that was it. But she was quiet and playful on both flights!
The only major excitement was when I came within centimeters of stepping on a snake that slithered past my right foot on the front porch. When I heard my mother shrieking "SNAKE!" I think I levitated into the air and saw the thing almost touch my foot. I am not a fan of snakes but this one apparently was a king snake and those are "good" snakes. Uh huh.
Thanks so much to Auntie M and G'uncle Hugh (and their resident snakes) for hosting us!
