First time in the Pool - check!


On Sunday, June 8th, we took Abigail to the pool for the very fist time. I did not know what to expect, quite frankly. But she loved it! The water was warm and shiny in the sun. She was a little disoriented, it seemed, by the big floating "doughnut" we stuck her in, and it took her a few minutes to get acquainted with it and accept that she would not be fully independent while in the water. But once she did, she enjoyed us pushing her around the water. We all had a great time!


She squealed and looked at the people swimming and basking in the sun, the lifeguard, while waving "hello". She kicked and splashed around for a long time. Also had a couple of brief crying spells, mostly due to her getting tired and over-stimulated.


Abbie tried to drink some of the water by attempting to stick her head under it (much like she does when she is taking a bath...) Yuck. She did not succeed this time either.
