Hot, hot, hot

It's been really frigin' hot this week. The entire eastern seaboard is in the midst of a heatwave and even though we are pretty far north, we have not been spared. Thankfully, we haven't experienced the triple digit temps that have stifled NY and DC. But temperatures in the 80s all day are pretty high for us Mainers. Seeing as we lack A/C, we basically hang out in our undies all day and think cool thoughts. Or play on our activity mat and get sponge baths. Today Alden allowed me to document some of his more interesting developments over the past couple weeks.
He's finally starting to use his arms to prop himself up, but still only lasts a few minutes before cranking.
He's discovered his toes - the classic "happy baby" pose.
Alden loves to read.
Hands are SO INTERESTING! He'll study them for minutes at a time.
Kerstin has trained the tyke to stick out his tongue when he smiles. I'm trying to get him to disassociate the two actions, but as you can see, I'm not getting very far.
