Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool

The 70 degree weather today in Charleston had our hearts turned towards summertime... beaches, sunshine, swimming pools! We took advantage of family swim at our gym to get our little beach bum in the water.

She liked kicking around in her swimsuit, but she was looking at the "big bathtub" with a little anxiety...

I want my Daddy to hold me if I am going to do something a little scary!

She had her fingers in her mouth the whole time. Maybe this is something she does when she is anxious?

We took her under one time today. She isn't our little water bug yet, but se did pretty good. There were NO tears, and not even any attempts to climb up us out of the water. She even smiled a few times (especially when her daddy went under the water, and when she and I chased Daddy around the pool), and she took in stride an accidental splash in the face.

Afterwards, she must have had nearly a gallon of milk, then went to bed 2 hours earlier than normal. If she sleeps through the night tonight, I may be hitting the pool with her every day.
