Last weekend I picked up a little kiddie pool for Elsie while I was out shopping one day. It finally got warm enough outside and we were able to use it this weekend. It's a small pool, only about 4 feet across and we fill it with about 4 inches of water, just enough to cover her legs and to allow for lots of splashing. Also enough room for mommy or daddy too in case one of us want to get in with her.
Elsie really likes playing in the water, chasing her little fish all around the pool. She's sitting up on her own pretty much all the time now - can go for 5-10 minutes unassisted if she really tries. The only thing that kind of throws her off balance is all of the splashing. And boy does she like to splash, we get water everywhere. Unfortunately I think we've created a monster because we're finding she has a hard time telling the difference between the pool and the bathtub and our bathroom is a lot wetter than it used to be after bathtime is over. At least she has a good time, that's the important thing :)
Not much else new around our house. Elsie turned 5 months old yesterday, time sure does fly by! She is up to two cereal feedings a day (oatmeal, rice, or barley in the morning and evening). We could probably start vegetables any day now, I'm kind of holding off until she has a little more practice eating from the spoon. We're planning on starting with sweet potatoes. Ryan is still busy with work and school. He enjoyed his 10 days vacation home from work, but it went by really quickly and he's looking forward to taking off another week again sometime. Things are pretty much the same with me too. I signed up last week to run my first 5k in August. Granted, it's not all THAT far, but I decided that it's a good goal for me to work towards so I've started running a few days a week. I'm looking forward to getting back in shape, heaven knows I'll need the extra energy once Elsie becomes mobile!
Have a good week!
Sarah
