Swimming in smiles

We wanted to take Baby B to the swimming pool for the first time yesterday on our day off, but the weather didn’t really cooperate for us. It wasn’t actually raining during the day, but the wind was blowing and the leaves were turning over, so it looked like it might rain at any minute, and I didn’t want to pack up all of our stuff, get there, then have to turn around and come home. So, we decided to take a raincheck on that plan and instead got out the little inflatable baby pool I picked up for her earlier this week and let her play in that. She can’t quite sit up reliably on her own, especially in a slippery pool, but we just took turns helping support her while she played with some of the new bath toys we brought out.

Also, because it’s one of my favorite recent pictures, I wanted to post this one, taken on Tuesday night. I can’t believe how much her personality seems to come out in her pictures. This girl has the biggest smile, and as her daycare teacher said today, “She’s even happy when she’s fussy. It takes a lot to really get her upset.” We are very fortunate.
