Water Baby

We took Ella to a park with a fountain play area last weekend. It was finally warm enough to bring out the swim suit and hit the water. She had no fear at all! She played in the biggest spraying fountain first thing. There were big rowdy boys running around and she wanted to be in the middle of them. We were worried she'd get run over, but thankfully no major injuries to report. She did trip and got her first skinned knee...the first of many to come. She shook it off though and was in the water again in no time. It's been a bit of a battle getting her to wear a hat while we're outside. She's so fair skinned that even with lots of sunblock it will be easy for her to burn, well we've finally figured out that if we put her hat on and act like goofballs while wearing it for a while she's fine to wear it after us.

She is such a water lover. She hasn't been in the pool yet but we know she'll love it! We haven't done swim lessons yet with her but it's on the must do list. Until then the park's water play will have to do. We can't wait to go play in the fountains again soon!

In dance pose...she was having such a great time!

Getting a face full of water

She found a leaf and didn't want to let it go

Playing amongst the big boys...I was trying to protect her a bit without hovering too much, tough to do!

Thirsty?

I just know I can grab this water if I try hard enough!
