Water Baby

The freeze-frame of the drool is priceless

E's neighbor 'aunt' took some of the cutest pool pics of him the other day.

We just love these pictures. She managed to capture so many expressions of his that we only wish we could with our camera. These are all scans since she used actual film.
Since he only likes to stand, he's not really using the float for its intended use- ha!
He just bumper boats around the kiddie pool at full speed.
He pulled out the octopus that's suppose to fit in the hole, threw it to the side, and instead uses the hole for 'fishing'.

"Where did the puffer-fish go??"

"Oh, hahaha, I put it thru the hole."
He thinks it is the funniest thing to fish for his toys thru the hole.
Mommy side joke: oh, little E, you are the puffer-fish! ahahaha

He loooves to push and pull the buoys like footballs across the water.
Little does he realize that I've also made it abacus-time while we have fun counting each one.

He does a little kicking and splashing, pushing off from the wall backwards, and floating, too!!

We just started blowing bubbles- never hurts to get a face full of water :)
When is it time to have him fetch the brick from the bottom of 12'??

Between Daddy being a former lifeguard and Mommy taking years of swimming lessons, we'll make a Phelps out of him in no time.

Thanks, Miss L., for taking these adorable pics of our little water baby!!!
