Swimming? Yes, please!

 We had an exciting and busy day today!  Pat and I started off with taking Holly out to get a few pictures taken (just because she's cute, y'know) and when we put her back in the car to find another good spot for photos, she sacked out.  That was around 10:00 (I would like to point out that this amazing child slept from 7:30 last night to 7:30 this morning - woo hoo!).  So we drove around for a bit, enjoying the beautiful day and looking for another good photo spot.  Didn't really pay too much attention to the surrounding scenery, so we didn't find a good photo spot, but we did happen to swing by Toys'R'Us and pick up a lap pool for our water baby.  After that, we headed down to City Park for the Multicultural Festival that was currently going on.  At this point it was 11:00 and Holly was waking up, so it was good timing.  We strolled around and browsed the merchandise, listened to the music and ate chicken-on-a-stick for lunch.  Holly really enjoyed that.

Afterwards, we packed her back up and headed on home.  We were barely in the car when she had fallen asleep again, so she put in about a half hour between City Park and home.  Woke up at home, got her changed into her swim suit and filled up her pool for some fun in the sun!  She loved it!  As you can see in the pictures, she loves her rubber duckies.  The little blue and yellow ones were squirters and every time they were filled with water and she put it in her mouth and chomped down, water would squirt out the side.  She was slightly confused, but continued to happily chow down.

Her newest accomplishment is pulling herself up on things (mostly myself or Pat) and standing.  She also gets up onto hands and feet like a bear crawl.  She is so desperate to get up and walk, but she's just not quite there yet.  We both predict that she'll be taking steps by the end of July.
