Splish Splash

The sun was bright, the water was perfect, and the squeals of a cute little girl could be heard all over!

We found out Saturday that we have a little swimmer on our hands. Aunt Robin and Uncle Pete had a cookout to celebrate Jessi's graduation. They have a fabulous pool and Emma enjoyed every bit of it. This was Emma's first adventure in a big pool! Cousin Katie was swimming all around the pool when we first arrived and Emma was intrigued!

We first tried her little feet in the water, and she was timid, as we suspected. She kept her eyes on Katie, though. After we ate a little bit, the splashing fun started and Emma wanted to be a part of it!

Emma and I slowly made our way down the stairs into the water (partly because I didn't want to scare her, but mostly because the water was a bit cold). The cold water didn't seem to bother her one bit. Once we made it all the way in, Emma was eager to swim from my arms! She kept reaching out away from me. She wanted to be like her big cousin Katie and splish splash all over the place! We tried out her floats while we were in the pool. She loved them too! I would push her back and forth in the water, chasing after Katie. She had a blast!

Next on the list, signing up for swim lessons at the Y! What fun!
