Swimming

Yesterday we went to the pool. It was pretty nice. There weren't a lot of people there and Julia digs the water. She even went all the way under - well, actually, I dunked her, but she didn't panic or cry - the first time. I dunked her a second time and she swallowed some water and wasn't very happy with me, as you can see in the pic below: I like for her to try new things and at this point in her life. I can't explain anything and she can't say no - so we have a lot of fun. Actually, I do... I have a lot of fun and she puts up with me.


She did very well with her bubble blowing:

And back floating:

Here she is going under the first time. She made some great faces, but I didn't think to point her towards the camera:

She did very good just hanging out in the water:

Overall it was a pretty good day at the pool.

High Chair

So, the Cheese got her first little high chair the other day. After Lynnie told me how to put it together - it was like some kind of crazy Rubik's Cube or something - we put her in it. She pretended to dig it while she tried to escape. I don't know what she planned on doing once she broke out - but it was a good attempt.

EXERSAUCER

Yesterday our good friend Joanna brought over an Exersauser for the Cheese. Julia had already gone to bed, so this morning, after breakfast, we strapped her in and let her go for a test drive. As you can see from this video - she pretty much freaked out! She almost missed a meal she was having so much fun. Praise God for friends like Joanna who are so generous and always thinking of others.
