Testing out the pool

These past few weeks have been such a blast with Claire. She is learning and exploring new things every single day. We think she has mastered crawling now so we have to watch her closely because before we know it, she is gone! Yesterday I worked on getting her to feed herself. I think I am going to need a floor cover under her highchair...it gets to be very messy! She wasn't too sure about it at first, but did take a few spoonfuls on her own after some encouragement. She has been feeding herself finger foods off her tray now. Her favorites right now are the gerber puffs, kiwi, and cooked apple.

Yesterday we decided to let her test out the pool. The water is still a little chilly but she didn't seem to mind. We first sat her on the edge and let her kick in the water. She did this for a few minutes and then kept trying to get into the water. Jeff let her get in and walk around some. As you can see, she got in pretty far and ended up getting her pants pretty wet. I think we are going to have a barefoot water baby on our hands this summer!
