Splish Splash baby loves to swim


We took Malia to the pool for the first time yesterday and had a blast! The pool was nice and empty and even though the water was very cold for indoors it was great getting to watch Malia splash around. She took her first step in and did not want out! Right away she took it easy but bent over while holding my hand and started splashing and then let go and away she went. She started crawling through the water splashing and laughing, it was so fun to watch. I often think of the things we missed but having these firsts in her life sure make up for all that lost time. Malia LOVES to bath in the morning and loves to lay on her belly and splash so we knew she would love the pool. She even liked the water fall part though was a little nervous about it. She loved playing with Kaden in the water and watching him with her just melts my heart... he is so dang sweet with her and thinks she can do no wrong. After about 45 minutes she was shivering so I took her out and she was TICKED! I put on her little after the pool dress and she was fighting to get back in while the kids finished playing. She kept walking and reaching to go back in, boy was she mad at me!!

Kaden and Maddie both did the slide which is pretty big and I was so impressed with Maddie going all by herself! You could hear her scream from the very top all the way down and then right away she would yell AGAIN!! We had a great time and we know we need to do it more. Heck seeing Malia in a swimming suit was worth being so dang cold and putting one on myself, she looked so dang cute I just wanted to squeeze her!

On the way home Maddie thought we needed ice cream so we stopped (crazy girl) and Rich asked Kaden to tell me what he was doing and he informed me he was Free B***** or going "comando" OK seriously I was busting up! To funny and sorry for those faint of heart! Dad was pretty proud, being the swimmer he was he was a proud papa (WEIRD what makes a dad proud)
