Cute Swimmer

So, the weather here is super unpredictable- sunny and hot one day, rainy thunderstorms the next. However, we have been able to sneak to the pool a few times.This suit was labeled 6-9 months. It was way too small!!! So we had to go buy her another one. I love the rash guard shirts. They are so nice for babies- they keep them warm and you have less sunscreen to apply. (Not as cute, I know) I was really nervous that Maggie wouldn't like the pool. But.........she does! Our pool is freezing but it doesn't seem to bother her.

There are a ton of kids at our pool. I don't rant very often but here goes one......As a former swim instructor, my biggest pet peeve is parents that put floaties on their kids. Floaties teach kids the wrong thing- that their biceps will keep them afloat. If you are not going to get in the pool with your children, at least get them a life jacket or inner-tube that teaches them how to float with the core of their body. Seriously- I cringe every time I see floaties.

I want one of these for Maggie.

I love summer and can't wait to swim more!

I love her swimsuit and her cute little outfit!!!!!! so cute!!!!! i had no idea that the arm floaties were so bad. I will have to log that into my list of 'what not to do' when i have kids in the pool.

Maggie looks adorable! I am worried Addy's suit won't fit her either. They run small. This weather is the worst! I need Addy in a swim class bad! I don't know where to go. It freaks me out even thinking about going swimming with her now that I have Benson to worry about!
