| 0:26.1 | going on with you and your baby? Okay, so the weather has been nice in L.A. right now, and it's |
| 0:33.9 | awesome because it's been so rainy and cold, which I love. |
| 0:38.3 | But I really like the warm weather, mostly because I can put my baby in all the cute outfits, like summery outfits that she has in her closet. |
| 0:47.8 | They're so cute. |

| 1:02.5 | Yeah. My baby also has a bunch of like short sleeve outfits that we just, and shorts and stuff. |

And so now, you know, when you go out, it's more like, okay, cat naps in the carrier, like in the, yeah, or carrier or in the car seat or she napped at Jenny's house.
