Swimming in a Big Pool!

We've been taking advantage of the pool at the hotel. Cecilia is gradually beginning to enjoy it more and more! She'll kick and splash in the water, and every time we go in she warms up to it faster. We're working on kicking on her stomach, but she hasn't grasped the concept of blowing bubbles yet. All-in-all she's taking to it like a fish! Plus, momma got a "cool" hat at Target that she gets to wear. It can't even get wet - the water just rolls off of it. No sunburns for this crew!

Swimming Pool

I got Cecilia a baby wading pool, and recently the weather has been nice enough to use it. I don't get it out unless it's in the 80s. Anyway, I got these pictures over two days because it's hard to take pictures and help her/watch her. She seems to like to step in and out of it, but there has been very little sitting IN the pool. She will also occasionally play with the sprayer. Nevertheless, we've spent two afternoons out by the wading pool. The first day, I filled it up when we used it and it was too cold. Today, I filled it up in the morning so it was fairly warm by the time we got to swimming. I think she would prefer to eat the potting soil, though, and so far has wanted Mommy to walk with her around the yard more than play in the water. We're getting used to it, though.
