Another Day at the Pool

The weather has been warm and I'm still enjoying the water. But since my last post, I've developed a few quirks. I love to take towels, wash cloths, and generally any item used to dry off into the water with me. The other day, I lined the bottom of my pool with my towel. Mom just laughs and isn't willing to fight with me on this one.

But the other big thing we've discovered is that I am much more comfortable playing in the water features of my yard with clothes on. That's right, clothes, not a swim suit. I think swimming suits are for the real pool only. So, we have some designated "swim" outfits now.


My sprinkler has become one of my favorites. I love putting the balls in and watching them pop out. I'm definitely not afraid anymore as I stick my face right in to get a drink when I'm thirsty. And, I've learned how to fill up my bucket and watering can. This has been great, mom is never at a safe distance anymore!





I guess it's not a bad thing. I'm more protected from the sun and it makes my clothes last longer. You know, clothes stretch when they're wet.

Big Foot

Well, I've definitely acquired a taste for shoes. I know where mine are, I have a designated spot for getting them on, and I love to go for walks in them. So, with my new found excitement in shoes, my PaPa went out and got me a pair of Nike's. (With a pink swoosh and everything!)

Check out how much my foot has grown. Now, Nike's do run small, but a size 6! Wow! Official stats will follow in mid-July, that's my next checkup. But we can tell you I'm 31 inches tall and still under 20 lbs! Skinny little legs and good size feet give me great balance.


I've been running around in them ever since.

What a Character!

My personality has developed quite a bit over the last month. Perhaps that's because I have so many people to draw off of in the house. I am such a lucky girl! I've really been into accesories for my head as of late. Tupperware, hats, and of course pants! The pants and shorts are my favorite, the elastic keeps it on until I'm ready to say "Ta Da" (very loudly) and yank them off.


I've also been known to covertly get into the sock draws. My parents, not my own. Here I am modeling a future soccer player look. Dad's footjoy socks are a favorite around here. I wonder, why don't grown up socks have sticky pads on the bottom? It sure is hard to run in these!

Water Baby

School's out for everyone and it's officially summer. I've been enjoying it with water extensively! Sprinklers, spraygrounds, water parks, and pools. This is what my summer is about and mom has been a really good sport. Because you know, if I'm wet...she's wet.

So we started off with the at home sprinkler. Of course we moved up from that and went to the sprayground by our house. Three different sections, complete with huge sprinkler showers and mysterious buckets that sporadically dump water all over you. But this was just the beginning....

Then, the neighbor brought out the baby pool. I went in fully clothed! So, after sitting there for 15 minutes mom thought we should get a pool of our own in hopes of a similar reprieve later that afternoon. Well, we have a pool but mom did not get a break. I also got some really neat toys and Papa has tought me to fish with my new magnetic fishing rod.




And then, for the big water finale. Mom and I met some friends at the water park today. Wow! I thought I had seen water but nothng like this. A lazy river which didn't really make me feel lazy, I was very intrigued by the current. And a huge playground for kids. And this is where mom really gets the good sport award. She took me up on the slide, because I wanted to go, she shielded me from the huge dumping water bucket and got drenched, and she went down with me. She was soaked and so was I! But wow did we have fun.
