Yesterday Rebecca tried her pool for the first time. Since she loves her bath so much we figured she'd love a little pool...but to our surprise she seemed terrified :P The crying began with the swimming suit. Kind of a pain to get on.
Then when we got outside and Mary put Rebecca's feet in the water she freaked out. She clung to Mary for dear life :P So...into the pool went Mommy :) And then Rebecca. She started getting used to it and having fun as long as she was on Mommyy's lap. At one point Mary tried sitting her in the pool...she did ok as long as she was hugging Mommy's leg.
It was even a challenge to get out of the pool. Rebecca wouldn't stand up in the water on her own so Mary could get out. Rebecca did enjoy playing with the butterflies. And as she got a little more comfortable she enjoyed splashing. It sure was nice to be in the water on such a hot day. We'll have to keep trying so she gets used to the water before our vacation. Even if she doesn't like the water she sure looks cute in her swimming suit :)
Last night Justin and Rebecca went to Mary's soccer game. It was at a nice park. Rebecca had a blast playing on all the swings and slides. And she even got to see a "doggy."
Yesterday Rebecca learned the word chickpea. Although her version is more like "ca-pea." She loves any kind of bean...including chickpeas.
We took a trip to the local farmer's market this morning. Lots of fresh, yummy produce! Time for Rebecca to try more fruits and veggies :)
We're looking forward to seeing Grandpa and Grandma Holleboom tomorrow.

Bummer that she didn't like the water! Especially if she loves her baths still. Is she in the big tub and everything? But you're right, she does look cute in her swimsuit!! :)
Not in the big tub yet. Still in her small tub inside the big tub. We'll have to change that soon.
