The First Swim

You had such a cute swim suit it just asked to be used! It was not super warm outside but the fall was coming and we wouldn’t have too many more opportunities to use your suit before it was cold. By the next time that you could swim, I don’t know if this little suit would fit, but then again, it’s Texas so that day may come sooner than I think. The little suit was SO little. I thought there was no way that it was going to fit you, but I put it on and it was huge! You seem so much bigger than to me than when you were born so it amazes me how small you still are. We got into GiGi’s little pool in the backyard. Well, I started you off in the even littler pool first. You made such a shocked, scared face. Then, we got in together slowly into the bigger pool and you seemed to be okay with it when we were together. The books said that your stepping reflex would still be active in the water where you were weightless. I got to see it. It’s pretty funny to see you taking steps like you were ready to walk away from me despite the fact that you have several months before you get to that place again for real. It was a fun day, but it was still a little chilly. We swam for a little longer with your cousins, Berkley and Brett, but then we cuddled up in towels and finished up our fun first swim adventure. Can’t wait until it gets warmer again outside so we can try again.
