Ventura

Today we went out to Ventura to a strange event Stace heard about from work - a "kinetic sculpture" race where people race things they've made through water, on land and through the mud.
It was a fun reason to go to the seaside.
You can see Stace and Cora here, with Cora doing a bit of practice standing up. As she isn't even crawling yet, she also is pretty far from walking, I'd say. She normally doesn't try to stand when you hold her over the ground. You also can see Stace wearing his new glasses. Poor guy, aging seems to be hitting him all at once - high blood pressure and cholesterol and glasses, all in the space of a few weeks. I think the glasses look good on him though. He only needs them for distance, so he's not wearing them very often.



































On the way home from Ventura, Cora did a bit of reading in the car.







The last photo is from Friday, when my friend Christy and her son William went with Cora and me to a big baby consignment sale. I did some stocking up for Cora for fall/winter clothes. Christy also has a Phil and Ted's stroller, with the attachable toddler seat. It fit into ours so we took advantage of that by using one stroller for both babies. Perfect.
