Our first attempt in the water was quite a bust. We were at a friends backyard party. Baby J was on the brink of tired and we decided to try the pool anyway. As you can imagine, it didn't go well and she was out of the pool within 2 min.
THIS TIME, we went on Saturday evening around 5:30. This is a good time for her because #1, it's not an oven outside and I don't have to worry about sweet baby getting a sunburn #2, she gets bored/fussy in the apartment at this time anyway, so we are usually out for a walk if not in the pool. It went great! We got there. Put baby in the stiff swim diaper. Daddy hopped in the pool and baby was passed off! She didn't quite know what to do with the pool. I can't tell if she loved it or hated it but I do know this: she didn't scream, and she didn't laugh. What she did do is try to drink the water. Her little face was all squished together from the way Daddy was holding her, and every so often, you'd see a little tongue come out.
I'd say our entire adventure lasted about 20 min. (including travel to and from apartment). This wins as the shortest pool visit I have ever made. But I think it's a good start toward turning Baby J into a little fish like her mom.
