Baby’s first swim!

Yesterday was Tristan’s first time in the pool. I got the two of us packed and ready to go, slathered him with sunscreen and put him in his cute little bathing suit. I should’ve slathered myself as well – since I just didn’t think to, I now have a boiled lobster back.

Our apartment complex has a kiddie pool, and we found that we were sharing the pool with two other mommies and their babies. I was the only mom who came out in a swimsuit and really got into the water. The other babies were 9 months old and 14 months old, and they had little turtle inflatable floats designed for babies. I recognized one of the moms, as I had stopped and chatted with her when we went out for our pseudo-picnic the other day.

Anyway, Tristan loved the water. There wasn’t a whole lot he could do, since the water was only a foot and a half deep, but he got a chance to ride in one of the turtle floats and I think he was a little bit bewildered at his mobility. When I held him up in the water (it was too deep to sit, and he can’t stand independently yet), he had fun splashing, kicking, and jumping.

We stayed out way too long, but we had a lot of fun. We’ll have to go get a float and try the big-kids’ pool next time.
