My mom and sister found this adorable, asymmetrical bathing suit for Miss Mollie, and though it was full-price they just had to get it. My sister used to rock a one-armed bathing suit when she was little and it just seemed right that Mollie should carry on the tradition.
Plus, doesn't she look insanely cute in it?!
Baylor, bless his heart, is typically highly resistant to going in the pool initially, so Mollie got to enjoy a little alone-in-the-pool time with Grandpa E recently. And, since she seems hell-bent on being as independent as possible, we decided to try Baylor's puddle jumper on her to see how it fit. At first glance it fit her very well, but she wasn't really heavy enough to bob comfortably like Baylor does in it and soon grew rather anxious.
So, in no time, she was out of the puddle jumper and into Grandpa E's arms.
Somehow my mom got Baylor outside while all that was happening. And since it was so blingin' hot she stripped him down to his diaper to keep him cool.
He took that as a sign that it was time to head into the pool. Regular diapers just aren't meant for swimming.
After a quick wardrobe change, he got back into the pool with Grandpa E, who was recently unencumbered since Mollie got hungry and needed to get out. Baylor kept asking what would happen if he stepped off the bottom step, and we informed him that he would go under water but that we'd be there to get him back up. Turns out, we were wrong!
Turns out the little man is a big boy! He can stand in the pool by himself, though not overly comfortably ... he had to be on his tippiest tip toes and more than once got a mouthful of water. But it's a start!
