A Day at the Pool

Well, my mom continues to gradually get over her "first-time mom paranoia" and has actually stopped reading box label recommendations and instead goes with her gut feel on whether I'm old enough or not for something. So finally, I got my first pool floaty and she got her first day in the sun! We went to the pool at 9:30 this morning, before the sun got too strong. Here I am in my (6 mos and up, remember I'm 5 months old today) pool float, complete with rotatable sun blocking canopy.


It didn't take me long, but I decide that I really liked this. (I give swimming a full, thumbs up.) I'm actaully a little too small still to really put my legs through the holes and enjoy, but when mom held me, I kicked and kicked in the water. (I'm a little off center in the picture because mom is holding me with one hand and snapping the photo with the other.)

But man, the sun sure does tire you out. We got out and mom wrapped me in a towel while she got everything ready. Mom, brought my bathrobe to the pool to help get me all snuggly warm once I was dried off. I fell asleep almost right away. This was a great break for mom. We both enjoyed the waterfall by the pool and relaxed an hour more of the morning away.
