Last Monday we tried Rebecca's kiddie pool. She was not too keen on it. But that's ok for her first try. We were excited to try again. Unfortunately the pool had other plans. It just wouldn't stay inflated. So yesterday Justin returned it and bought a different pool...a larger one that we can all enjoy...and we did!! In the afternoon we all relaxed in the pool. Just like last time Rebecca was not too thrilled about the water at first. 
So she started out on Mommy's lap again. And gradually adjusted and stopped crying. Then she sat between Mommy's legs...slowly working towards sitting on the bottom by herself (the water wasn't very deep). Then she was brave enough to stand. And then she walked to Daddy. And then she just couldn't get enough of the water :) We played and splashed for quite a while. It seemed like Rebecca would never want to get out...until Mommy stood up...then "all none." No swimming without Mommy in the pool :P
It was a nice little preview of our upcoming vacation :) A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. We are excited to use the pool this week. And so glad that Rebecca is starting to have fun in the water! There are lots of pictures in the June album. 
Rebecca seems to be going through a growth spurt right now...physically and developmentally. She is outgrowing all of her shoes. And she seems a little taller.
She is acting more independent. She doesn't want help with her sippy cup anymore. And she's trying to feed herself with a spoon (she's been doing it with a fork for a long time already). Rebecca likes to read on her own sometimes now (although she still loves to read with someone). All of her teeth are through the gums. And coming all the way in quickly. Seems like overnight she has a full smile :)
Rebecca is learning the motions to lots of songs, like Itsy Bitsy Spider and the Hokey Poky. Her latest dance move is spinning. She knows how to give "high five." And as soon as we put her in her high chair she folds her hands ready to pray. Rebecca is really jabbering a lot more lately. Making new sounds, putting syllables together and using new words. Yesterday she started saying mouth..."mow." And if you ask her what's in her mouth she'll chomp her teeth together and then stick out her tongue. These are just a few of the things she's been up to lately. We're having so much fun watching her learn new things each day.
