Katie's First Swim

Katie is a HUGE fan of water...I think that girl would stay in the tub all day if we'd let her!  She loves to splash and tries to lick the water.  Anytime we turn on water she smiles and reaches out for it.

She usually gets her baths in the sink because it's much easier than bending over the tub but she's getting ready to outgrow the sink.

She likes playing in the bathtub with bubbles.

We've been wanting to take Katie to the lake but the sandy beach is closed because the water level is down so we decided we would take her to the swimming pool down the road.  We had never been before and we were pleasantly surprised.  They had a big, shallow wading area for the little ones and there was some fountains that sprayed water into the wading area.  At first baby girl didn't know what to think but pretty soon she was splashing and licking at the water.  She was too cute!

This is too cute!  She was keeping herself close to her Daddy because she wasn't quite sure what to think about all the water yet.

She was really studying the other kids splashing around in the water.

She splashed in the water so much that her hat got weighted down where she couldn't see and we had to take it off.  We had to put sunscreen on her head so it looked all greasy.  We didn't want to take any chances of her getting sunburned.

She was worn out by the time we got back in the car and we thought she would take a looong nap after all that swimming.  Well we thought wrong!  She slept 45 minutes when we got home and woke up happy and ready to go again!
