First Swim of the Summer!

We had our first swim of the summer on Monday! It was a lot of fun. Abbey loves the water. She was so excited to see the water when we first got to the pool that I was afraid she would just jump right in! I wasn't sure how she would do in the water because she hasn't been swimming since last year around August (that would have made her around 10 months old). Lets just say that she was very confident and independent. More like too confident and too independent for my comfort zone! She didn't want mom to hold her and she didn't want to be in the floaties. She just wanted to be free! I had to let her sink under the water for a few seconds so she would understand that she can't be on her own where she can't touch the ground! By the end of the experience she realized that if she stuck to the shallow stairs she wouldn't have to be confined to mom's arms! She loved to float on her belly (like she does in the bath) and eat snacks in the pool! We also got to play with lots of cousins (Isabelle, Alexa, Hannah, Grace, Micheal, and of course Wyatt). What a Monday!!
