47 weeks: Swimming!

Devyn got to go to the swimming pool for the first time today!



I wanted to take pictures at the pool, but the camera I brought was out of battery.  :(  But here she is posing in her pre-swim outfit: swimsuit, cropped cardigan and clamdiggers!

She was more than a little apprehensive about the pool.  We went to the baby pool first, and she REALLY didn't like the thing that splashed water down into the pool every few minutes—even though it was several yards away.  She much preferred being carried in the lazy river.  We went with her little friend L, who has been taking swimming lessons for a while, so he was excited to splash and kick, and Devyn wasn't too happy about being splashed, either.  

But I thought she did really well and was very brave.  We'll have to go again and get her exposed to the pool and splashing water a little more.  L is having his birthday party in June at a little splash park, so I want to be sure Devyn can have a good time then.
