Our little fishy!

Over the course of the last few months we have been shopping around for bathing suits for little Ava.  Little people swimsuits are so cute and inexpensive, everytime we see one we feel like we have to purchase it.  Needless to say little Ava has her fair share of swimming apparel which can be worn to the pool, beach, or lake.  Grandma Patty came to town for a few days and while she was here we took the opportunity and went swimming!  First rule of taking a baby swimming; make sure they have had plenty of rest or you end up with this:

(Hopefully she understands that we are making an exception with the pacifier here)

Fortunately she took a little nap and afterward she came to the conclusion that swimming is just like taking a bath (a little more cold and a lot more chlorine) and she enjoyed, or tolerated if that's how you look at it, the rest of the time. We really weren't too excited about that first time in the water and knew that if we wanted to continue to enjoy the pool together we had to get her back out. So last weekend we ventured out again and this time seemed to be a lot more enjoyable for all involved.

 (She is such a little Diva sometimes!  I think she enjoys just lounging around and catching a few rays to keep up with Daddy's tan)



She has become an excellent splasher and kicker in the pool and hopefully this is a sign of advanced early childhood development!
