Water Bug!

Ocean, done that. Baby pool, been there. Time to graduate to an inground pool like a real kid. Today the Fosters drove up 495 to Pepperell to visit with Sadie's Godmother Darah and her husband Eric.



With her Little Swimmers diaper on (I don't understand the physics of how anything stays in there - but this time around was accident free!) we ventured into the pool. Thankfully it was a 90-degree day, but the shock of the cold water gave Sadie some serious reservations. After 4 minutes or so, she was loving it and kicking legs. Darah had a baby float, which was perfect - she fit in it just right and it gave her something to cling to. We motor-boated around the pool for about 15 minutes before we started to see the tell-tale pinkness of a burn on her arms (and that was with 50+ slathered on).



We enjoyed the rest of the afternoon under shade, playing on a towel and snacking on pear puree. A dragonfly joined the party on Sadie's head for a bit too.




It must have been Godmother week in Massachusetts - because aside from our visit with Darah, my Godmother Teresa was in town from New Mexico. I hadn't seen her since our wedding, so meeting Sadie was a bonus.
