Nile was such a water baby, and I had high hopes that Evie would be too. Even though it's only April, New Orleans is already quite summery in terms of weather. It's the perfect time for NOLA kiddos to start swimming, so we decided to get Evie her first pool. I had a coupon for $3 off from Toys R Us (that actually came in a birthday card for Nile, but that's another story entirely.) Kyle chose a cute inflatable pool that has a built in canopy for shade, which is great for our home. We blew it up and brought it over to Nana's house so that we could all hang out. Evie wasn't too crazy about the water at first, and we quickly learned that she HATES the feeling of water in her ears. She did a little better with a towel folded under her head. She stayed in the pool for about 15 minutes before she was ready to get out. I can't wait until she's great at sitting up unassisted because it'll make "swimming" so much better.
She's so adorable!!! And so glad she likes it now - she certainly has the last few times I've seen her in the water!
