Mid-Summer Update

It's gorgeous and sunny and Californiarific as it should be. Where does that make you want to be? Driving a floating car in a pool? Done.



How ideal does that seem for a beautiful day!



Also ideal? Sundresses and friends...



Pulling yourself up on your feet and standing like you've conquered the world...



And chewing. Anything and everything. Chewing is where it's at, I'm telling you.



See? Chewing is The Best!



There are also growing baby check-ups to be had...



And more friends to snuggle (always good, almost as good as chewing, actually!). Marnie and Mama Gambit get the appeal of both snuggling and chewing, they're good that way.



And one of the best summertime activities of all: hanging out on the front porch. Just like the old days. But there's still one thing that's better...



Bare bum days! Whoooohoooo! Baby Gone Wild!



She kids, she kids. She's a lover, not a flasher. Look at that snuggle puss and mama! Summer rocks.

Lordy, Me!

I went over a month without regaling the world with the glory of Veronica and I wasn't even out of town?! Man, I am a sorry excuse for a Zia these days, I hope the little muffin (and her mama) can forgive me! A taste of what you've been missing...



That's right, times have been hard for little V.Go so she's been taking the Raymond Chandler route of processing.



I kid, I kid! Everyone knows you start on wine coolers, not bourbon.



Her actual endeavors have been of a far more athletic variety.



Look at Coach Rodney implementing the strict training regime that's going to take her to the top. We want her toppling Russians in the next 7 years for sure.



Ahhhhhhh.... pink!



Lean back, lean back, lean back.



When she takes it on the road, she's even better. I never realized the usefulness of lower counters before now. So... final images both dorky:



(Hi Cat & Nica... those girls are so lucky to have conquered Disneyland already!) And finally, the sweet:



Kiss the baby! Kiss the baby! (Look at her coy face and Mia Farrow hair... sigh.)
