Swim baby, swim

On Monday, Porter had his first pool experience. I was so glad my mom and brother were able to join us. I've been waiting for the perfect time all summer and this was as perfect as it was going to get. I suited Porter up in his swim diaper (which he was literally swimming in- way too big!), pool shirt, shark swimming trunks (adorable, thanks Nonni!), and hat (safari hat as Sean says). We blew up the float, packed the bag, and were ready to go. This pool experience was a little different from any I've had before. No more sunscreen, water bottle, and out the door (not a complaint though).

I don't think Porter knew what to think when he first saw the pool, he just started the whole way to the stairs. I let him feel the water and put him in his floatie, which he'll grow into maybe next summer :) He liked kicking his feet and splashing the water, but he wasn't an immediate fan. He definitely liked being held more than floating (I think we have a mama's boy on our hands and I love it!).

After an hour of swimming and very pruny little feet, we got out and dried off. He seemed to be a little happier to watch the pool from a distance. I don't think my little boy will be an avid swimmer anytime soon.

After we came back home, he finished off his day with a nice bath and snuggles with Nonni (probably his favorite part).
