First tub bath!

Now that the umbilical cord is a little fallen-off piece of the recent past, Matt and the bug assisted in cleansing the monkey a few nights back. Matt's concentration indicates the solemnity of the event. The monkey, on the other hand, looks rather bemused if not actually pleased by the damp turn of events:

As the monkey and his father discussed politics, gun control policies, and other issues of the day, the bug looked on, with interest: (Note the strategically placed rinsing cup.)

Her interest eventually progressed to sheer glee when she got to "rinse" him by soaking him with copious amounts of water: (Again, note the unintentionally yet strategically placed rinsing cup.)

It was a really warm day in Longmont so we had the windows open and the fans going upstairs. The little one was probably relieved to get in the tepid water and out of the relative heat.

I considered titling this post "Hot nekkid pix!" but realized I would get all kinds of unfortunate internet traffic if I spelled that correctly, so went with direct descriptors instead. Still, it's nice to know these pictures may be floating around on the internet when they're both in junior high and will be hideously embarrassing at approximately that time.
