The First Swim

Charlie has 2 great aunts that LOVE to spoil him and his cousins. They are really very lucky kiddos. These wonderful great aunts bought an adorable inflatable pool for Charlie and some pool toys. We thought today was the perfect day to break it out. Aunt Laur brought buckets of warm water out from the cabin, and Charlie hopped right in. Well...Charlie's mom plopped him right in!

As you can see, Charlie didn't hate it! He was even smiling and talking to Harvey and his toys for a while. He would splash his little legs around.

It didn't take long for Charlie's big cousins to come join the fun. Maya wanted to play with him in the worst way, but being that she is 21 months old, she didn't understand that babies don't appreciate water in the face. Charlie took it like a champ though, no tears or even whines!!! Maya was also helping me give Charlie a bath in the pool! What a big girl she is getting to be!

Natalie and Harvey were very gentle with Charlie. They rubbed his arms and talked to him. Here's the best cousin shot on my camera! 

Here are the doting cousins!

Charlie was all smiles while wrapped in his brand new beach towel from his great aunts!
