Splish Splash


Today Meredith and I went to the pool. Meredith was a pro at swimming (She is going to take after me and be a fish!). I could not take pictures of us at the pool thought because well we were the only ones there and I thought it much more important to stay with Meredith (not that she would have let me leave her anyway). She started out with me in her water sling she was at first unsure but then got extremely excited and started splashing! (maybe encouraged by mom). After awhile, she started to squirm in the sling and wanted more freedom so I put her in a float that the Easter Bunny brought her. She was in the float for a while too she was kicking and moving around in it really well. But then she tried to CLIMB out of the float to get to the good open water so she could splash. I took her out of the float and did the daddy carry( how daddy carries her around. We will get a picture of Timothy doing the daddy carry soon). She liked that but then wanted to kick her legs and splash at the same time. So then I just held her by her arm pits. It was a wonderful time!
SO you all are still thinking what does going to the pool have to do with bath time? Well she sure wanted to show off her new found skill to Daddy tonight. As soon as we got out the bathtub Meredith was trying to get into the tub. I was lucky that I already just had her in her diaper. She got right in and showed off to daddy who was less then thrilled. hmmm maybe we will have to start bathing her in the real tub?!?
