A few weeks ago, we purchased a little blue blowup pool for Fiona. This past weekend, it was put into service for the first time. While the water was a little cold for Fiona’s taste at first, she eventually became use to the temp and turned out to love the water. I can’t say that we were shocked because she absolutely loves bath time, but she really loves her first pool, especially when sharing it with one of her favorite toys, a Kai-Lan bath toy.
We’ll have a video of the event on YouTube soon, and you can now check out our Fiona’s First Pool Flickr set:
Our family knows this story well. It all goes back a few months ago, to when Grandma Gilligan started by touching Fi’s nose with her fingertip and “beeping” as she touched her nose. Pretty soon, Amy and I were doing the same. Fi was always amused. One morning, Grandpa Gilligan was sitting at the kitchen counter reading the newspaper, and Fi joined him in his breakfast routine.
With Fiona sitting on the counter in front of him, Grandpa G touched Fi’s nose, made the beep sound, and repeated the process a few times. After a few beeps, he held his finger a few inches away from Fi’s nose, and then she did the unexpected. She leaned her nose into his finger so he would beep again. Much to Fi’s satisfaction, Grandpa G beeped and Fi’s smile was a mile wide.
We’ve been trying to get it on camera ever since. This week, we finally did.
For my first blog post from the Wordpress iPad app, I feel the need to mention that we noticed tooth number four poking through today. It’s just barely sticking out of the gum, but is definitely visible. The little one is growing so fast, and we love her oh so much. Now it’s time to get back to work.
