Pool Fish

What a great day we had! The day started kind of crazy because Jake refused to take his morning nap. I think he knew we were going swimming so he didn't want me to leave him at home while I went! haha We finally got all loaded up in the car and drove to Marylou's house. After coating Jake with twelve layers of sunblock we jumped in the pool. Jake was a non-stop splash machine! Even with the water pouring down his face from splashing, he wouldn't stop. Luckily, Marylou had a huge umbrella that covered part of the pool that Jake and I stayed under the entire time so I wouldn't worry about him burning. We tried putting him in a little boat to float in, but he just rolled around looking for more water to play in. Jake decided to use Marylou as a float and would lean back on her and just kick his little legs and hit his hands on the water! Video below, but I will say it was hard to take videos and pictures since I was in the pool as much as Jake was! It was a HOT day!

After FOUR HOURS of playing in the pool, we went home and I made dinner. I made a pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, Mediterranean greens, feta cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Not as great as the previous days meals, but still ok. Then we took our family walk and I gave Jake a bath and his night bottle. You would think after all that swimming that he would be sound asleep, but as I type he is throwing Scout the dog around his crib and "fake" coughing! Better go rub his back! Goodnight!
