Miss Lila is working on overcoming  her fear of water and is loving summertime.

So far we've only mastered the baby pool but we are moving in the right direction!!!!  (Especially since we've had the same tiny pool for 3 summers and this is the first year it's actually been used.)  Woo Hoo!

She eased into it at first.......

 
 Then she got a little bit more comfortable.........


 Then all of a sudden she stood up and said, "Mom!  I got idea!" with a twinkle in her eye.


 She wanted the slide in the pool.   At first I told her that I didn't think it was such a good idea.  I told her that the pool wasn't big enough and it might hurt her to go down the slide into a pool that small.   She said, "No hurt.  FUN!"   So, of course, the slide ended up in the itty bitty pool.

 



As of today the redneck riviera is on its way out.   

We went to Target 
and bought Miss Lila a new pool.
She picked it out herself.  
Quite a bit bigger,
it has a little water spray area 
and a little 
built-in 
slide.  


I just love this little girl and her zest for life.  
So blessed to be her mama.

  2. Seriously have to issue a disclaimer here- the last picture is not Lila's new pool! Yikes! Can you imagine the water bill. LOL

    It's just a picture that shows exactly what I'm talking about when I say she has a zest for life! : )

    Hello! Hopefully you remember me it's Nicole ( Ethan's mommy and former secretary from the NICU) we were wondering where you got the slide from? We want a bigger slide for our boys and haven't had any luck finding one.

    Lila is beautiful!
