going for a swim

Yesterday was really hot, so I thought it would be a good day to break out her new pool. It's just a tiny blow up pool, so I blew it up in the morning, put water in it, and let it sit in the sun to get warm. Later in the afternoon, after Grandma arrived for her visit, we put her bathing suit on her for the first time and took her outside. First of all, she had never been in the grass before with her bare feet, and that was HILARIOUS to watch. She didn't like it at all and kept trying to lift her feet off the grass. She realized that wouldn't work, so she stood on her tip toes and reached up to one of us to pick her up. When we had ahold of her she'd lift both legs up so they wouldn't be touching. It was so funny. When we sat her down in the grass she even picked her feet up, so her bottom was in the grass but her feet were up in the air. What a funny girl.




Here she is testing out the water (notice she's on her tippy toes!!)


She didn't really like the pool, either. The water was warm, almost like a bath, but she just didn't want to stay in it. She played a little bit with some stacking cups, but mostly she'd stand up and lift her arms up to be picked up.



So swimming didn't last too long, but Grandma and I sure had fun watching her! We'll have to try again another day.
