Who loves hanging out at the pool more than MP2? NOBODY! Well, maybe Nana and Papa!
We've taken advantage of having a teeny little postage stamp sized pool in our apartment complex in Nashville this summer. MP2 has always loved the water, and it's super important to both MP and I that he be comfortable around it.
We're so glad that Nana's recovering and able to get around a little bit more every single week. I know she's grateful to get out of the house, and we're grateful to have the help and company.
After a little while in the water, MP2 is ready to get out and move around. Unfortunately for him, the pool surround is a little tough on the knees...so he's perfected the crab crawl. In more recent weeks, we bring his little push-toy that he can walk behind (and we keep a really close eye on him not to wheel it right into the pool). He loves being outside, and will sit and play for a long time before he gets too bored and wants to go in.
We really invest in the nicest toys for MP2 - like this old plastic cup!
Nana getting some poolside snuggles and smiles.
Standing up is going great! Walking, not so much. MP2 will stand there for a good minute (not even holding on to anything), and then plop and crawl when he's ready for a new spot. I know people say just wait until he starts walking, he'll be into everything...but dang, he already is, and I am ready for him to get around on his own two feet instead of all fours.
More playing with Nana and Papa in the water.
All in all, I'd have to say we're having a fun fun summer!
