Summertime by the Pool

We decided not to join the Vestavia Pool this year since Rutland is so little still. I couldn't imagine how I could play with Caroline (who is quite the little fish in GiGi and Pop's pool) and keep Rutland from frying like bacon in the sun. So we bought a baby pool and just make do in the backyard. We also make trips to Montgomery to swim in GiGi and Pops pool. Sweet Me-mee bought Rutland a frog pool with a shade canopy, so I set him up in the Bumbo in that pool and let Caroline swim in the other baby pool. He can only last so long before he gets tired of it though. But Caroline loves it and splashes him every chance she gets. Sibling rivalry starts very early I guess. Here are some pictures of our days outside by the pool and some others I've had on my camera.

Caroline will finally wear sunglasses for more than 2 seconds. She says she is a "moviestar"!

Rutland loves the water!

We hope this doesn't translate into a profession later in life!Christopher put Rutland in Caroline's babydoll stroller. He loved it! Here is Caroline's reaction to her brother using her stroller. Rutland is a happy baby!
