First Day in the Pool!

Once Upon a Time it was a hot summer day in Delaware. Norah's parents bought her some really cute swim wear, slathered her up with fancy baby sunblock, and brought her to the pool. 

Image is everything - gotta look good at the pool!
It was blazing hot outside but not so hot that Mom could tolerate the freezing cold water. The pool water was much too cold to submerge a baby for her first dip. And so we dabbled a bit and took it slow. Norah's first day in the pool was pretty anticlimactic. She did some splashing with her toes and watched the other kids playing but she, herself, did not get too wet. But she looked good doing it! Mom, on the other hand, was just a person standing in a pool while holding a 20 lb baby.

Let's start with the piggies.

And now the cankles...
