Water Girl

This girl LOVES the water!!

Last weekend, we took Shiloh swimming at my friend and coworker Danielle's house. We remembered from last summer how much Shi loved the water, but that doesn't even compare to how excited and silly this girl gets with the water now! She LOVES it! She giggles and squeals with delight as you take her in, attempts to blow bubbles with her face in the water, splashes, kicks her arms and legs, and NEVER wants to get out. She is a regular little fish!

Notice here how she saw the need to sample the water when she first got in:

Hmm... tasting the water, maybe?

A fun thing to do is yell, "Hey, Shiloh! Splash Daddy!!" and then snap a picture really quick. :)

Splashing Daddy

Here she and Daddy were practicing kicking her legs and moving her arms.

Practicing kicking

We struggled and struggled to get her floatie vest on...

Ugh!  Pretty sure this thing doesn't go like this!

And although it's a bit big on her, it does the job. However, she prefers swimming without it as long as we'll let her.
Ready for some pool time!

More photos to come of Shi swimming in her whale pool in the backyard :)

gosh she's so darn cute!!
I hope SOphia will be more like Shi next year... this year the 2 times we've had her in a pool she gets really nervous and wants to be held tight the whole time...

Love it. She is really looking like a 'big girl!' Scary!
