Ava Goes Swimming

Last Saturday we headed to Rich's parents to go swimming. We knew it was going to be a hot day, so we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take Ava swimming. Since she is so fair (she has the most beautiful creamy skin) we lathered her up in sunscreen, bought a covering swimsuit, and kept her in the shade...I'm just a little paranoid she will burn. Ava was tired and a little cranky, so we weren't sure how she would react to the water, but to our surprised she loved it. At first she wasn't too happy, but as soon as she was floating in her sweet ride she just laid back and relaxed. She gave us some cute smiles and even kicked her feet...maybe we have a swimmer in the family?? Ava had a good time and we finally took her out not because she was unhappy, but because we thought she was getting cold. Now that we know she likes swimming I am really looking forward to summer. I am excited to take her back to Papa Bruce's and Nona Alicia's to go swimming and we even have a kiddie pool of our own for hot days.

Ava in her swim diaper that was just a little too big, but it worked. She is the cutest little chunk!!

Ava with her new swim suit. I like that it is 2 pieces (easy on and off), but also provides good protection from the sun.
