Water Baby

Today was another nice hot day, so after SAW's guitar lesson we decided to scrounge up some change and go to the pool. SAW decided to stay home & get his chores done (yeah, right), and Bug left early because MJ was taking soooooo loooong eating. I have to admit that after Bug left I really wasn't feeling it, but I didn't want to leave her down there by herself. We threw on swim suits and off we went. I am soooo glad we went.
MJ loves the heat & humidity down here on the Emerald Coast, and I knew she liked water because she loves getting a bath (or joining mommy in the shower). I was still not expecting her reaction to the pool. Even after taking a quick FREEZING cold shower before we went into the pool, she was calm and relaxed as soon as we got in the pool. So relaxed that I thought she was asleep, and so did everyone else. I rolled her on to her back and she stretched to get her head into the water & just rolled it all around. SHE LOVED IT!!!! We bounced around and floated her on her back & had a great time. The first time I took Bug to the pool she was about 2months old. I had watched all kinds of shows about how babies instinctively know how to swim, so I was not afraid to go under water with her. She has always loved water and is an excellent swimmer now. With MJ it was a different story today. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Maybe next time though. If today's relaxed attitude was any indication of how she will do every time then I think it will be fine.
I am so very glad so many people gave her swimsuits!! We will definately be using them all!!
