Eileen is a Swimmer

Subtitle: Watch your back, Michael Phelps


We went to Tennessee last weekend, and while we were there, Eileen got to swim in my parents' pool.  She LOVES the water, and she's a natural- she is already kicking her feed and "paddling" when you hold her into the water.  Eileen also puts her face in the water (though I think it's more an attempt to drink the pool water than just putting her face underwater to swim).

At first, I just stuck her feet in the water to see if she liked it.  The baby was so happy that I felt terrible about dragging her upstairs to change her into a swim diaper and bathing suit.  So we just let her skinny dip.

Swimming!

On Sunday, we were a bit more civilized and put Eileen in a swim diaper and hat.  Once again, she had a wonderful time:

I had to include this b/c... LOOK HOW BIG SHE'S GETTING

Mamaw & Aunt Patti watched.
Mamaw got hot, so she put David's t-shirt on her head.

Aunt Patti helped Eileen dry off... and gave her a few hugs

I'll post more pictures from Tennessee, but it seemed like the pool pictures deserved their own posts.  Eileen really, really loves the water!
