Gracie's first swim!

We went over to David's dad's house today to cookout and go swimming. We've had a little swimsuit for Gracie, but I've been waiting until she is old enough to have sunscreen on her skin (her pediatrician said to wait until around 6 months old). I decided that at 5 1/2 months it would be fine to go ahead and put it on her so we went to the store and got her some baby sunscreen and swim diapers and headed to the pool! I used almost half the bottle of sunscreen on her throughout the afternoon, and she wore a hat the whole time she was in the sun, so don't worry, she was very protected! She was great, she really loves the water anyway, so she was calm but interested the whole time. She loved when I blew bubbles at her in the water, and when I'd go underwater she would watch me. She fell asleep on David's lap afterwards and snoozed away in the shade. It was a fun day, and I can't wait to get her in the pool again! Next time we'll get her one of those floats with a shade on them, made especially for babies her age. She will love it! Enjoy some pictures!
