Pool Weekend!

We visited the pool (and got in!) for the first time this past weekend! Patrick got Ava's floaty crab from the garage, and when she saw it she could barely stand it!! She knew that meant we were going to the pool...and she was ready!

Ava is starting to get a few freckles. I'm a little sad because I know that she had to get them from being in the sun (and I try to hard to protect her)! She got one on her nose, her cheek, 2 on her forehead, and one on her forearm. For a while, I kept thinking the very first one (the one on her nose) was dirt, so I kept washing it extra good in the bathtub. And about a week later...it was still there! That's when I realized that her perfectly porcelain skin was a thing of the past. Now, it'll be porcelian skin with polka dots. :) So, naturally, I had to slather her in 60 SPF sunscreen and put her swim shirt on to protect those perfectly white shoulders! And off we went!She loved the pool. Her favorite part by far was watching all the other "babies" jump in the water. I kept telling her that they were kids, not babies...but she insisted. :) She found a basketball there, and kept bringing it to Patrick in the water. Patrick would throw it and Ava would fetch! Such a fun game. :) On the second day, she found a different kind of ball. She squeezed it and water would drip out. Every single time she did that, she'd say "pee pee." :) Hilarious.

Here's Patrick and Ava being so sweet...Before we went to the pool on Sunday, we took a trip to target to get Ava a noodle and a pool toy. (She wanted everyone else's noodle the day before)! She picked out a $1.25 boat and a pink noodle. She held on to those things like they would fly away if she let go! Ava gets very repetitive when she's focued on somethig. Since we got those things, she's been saying, "nu nu, boat, poo, cold" .....for "noodle, boat, pool, cold!" (The pool is cold)! So freakin' cute.

Here she is looking SO super cute with that pony tial and hat!!!She had so much fun but got so pooped! Here she is takin' it easy.So, today, she went to go to the park (which is right next to the pool) with her babysitter, and she about had a breakdown when she couldn't bring the noodle with her. Apparently, she stood at the gate to the pool saying, "poo, cold, nu nu." Such an emotional girl...

Looking forward to this weekend and more family pool time with Patrick and Ava!
