first swim

I have been so excited to take Alexis swimming (since before she was born) and I finally set up with a friend and her daughter to go. A few days before the swimming adventure, we went to give Alex a bath and realized she was not loving being in the water--crying every time we set her in her bath (we had been showering). So Ryan and I made a point to do bath time every day for the four days before the pool...pushing Alex a little further each time. By the third night she was loving it.

Alex did great in the pool! She did not fuss once and enjoyed splashing and swishing in the water. I took a picture in the changing room, but did not venture bringing the camera to the poolside.
