Water Girl & a B-day Party

Here is my water baby modeling her new floaties! She is so in love with water that we have to drain all the water out of the tub and then still wait while she sits in it still not wanting to get out. We even bought her a kiddie wading pool for the back yard and she is jumpin' in every time she goes outside. We realize that this water addiction is not going to end anytime soon ..... so we went looking at jacuzzis this weekend and took her with us to test them out. Some of the floor models actually have water in them so I put her on the side and let her dangle her little feet in so she can kick and splash. She then wants to put her hands in and splash too....and then suddenly she dunks her whole head in the water and comes up drenched and giggling and so excited that she does it again and again!! The sales guy was impressed and so he was encouraging her and playing with her and so she decided she liked him and he got a few hugs! He was very nice and even brought her a towel to dry off with! ;)

Yesterday we went to Robert's uncle Eric's house to go swimming in their pool and play with their son Sean, who is 4 1/2, not 5. Lexy wore her floaties and got to swim around and kick kick kick like a maniac while dunking her face in the water every five seconds. She wouldn't have ever gotten out except that her lips were turning purple... Very cool to have cool relatives close by with a pool in this heat let me tell you! :)

Even the floaties can't stop her from getting those two fingers in her mouth!

Here's a picture of my cousin's baby, River, who turned one saturday and had a big party at Pixieland. He looks just like my cousin!

And finally, here are a couple of cuties trying to keep cool in the extreme heat. Robert had to work, so thank god Lauryn was free to come with me and help! Such a good auntie. (turning 16 in 2 months!)
