I'm a Waterbaby

Mom and Dad were eagerly awaiting my six-week birthday so they could finally take me to the pool. All this past weekend they looked forward to our big pool adventure, but just as mom and dad starting getting everything ready to go, I decided I needed a nap. I hadn't had one all day, of course, because when mom and dad are both home on the weekends, I don't want to miss anything fun.

As I was resting, mom and dad were trying to decide... sleep? or swim? They decided I could sleep any old time, so we went swimming!

Mom and dad put me in my carrier and drove me to the pool at Fairvue. While it took me a few minutes to wake up and figure out where I was, I quickly became intrigued by all the bright colors and sounds and before I knew it, my little frog legs were gliding through the water. (Frog legs - definition - the legs of a baby whose torso is long, legs are short, and feet kick out like a little uncoordinated frog, like mine).

So it's official, I'm a waterbaby. Now I can't wait for my first boating adventure with Annie and Ru.

My birthday!

I was born on Wednesday, June 14 - my due date! I weighed 7 lbs and 12 oz, and was 20 inches long. My grandmother Neena, Aunt Dana and Daddy were all there to greet me when I arrived. Later that day, I received several visitors, my grandfather Pa and Lolo, and my grandparents Annie and Ru. My Aunt Tawnya and Uncle Lyle came to visit, as well as my "Aunt" Lydia, who talked to me a lot while I was in mommy's tummy. My mom's friend Kristi also came to see me and took lots of pictures and brought me a present. I'm so lucky to have so many friends and family excited to meet me.
