learning to jump

Last week we went to the pool a few times since it's scorching hot finally warm enough. Raeleigh was unusally timid about the water and chose to sit on the step the entire time.



Rudy on the other hand enjoyed the water.



The next day Raeleigh was back to her old self and couldn't stay out of the water! I spent the majority of my time helping her do this:



We are trying to teach her to kick her feet. *sigh* Maybe by the end of summer. So she can forget and we will have to start all over next year!
Anyway, she is learning to jump thanks to the refreshing feeling of splashing into the pool!







Eventually her Momma will be brave enough to "catch" her when she hits the water instead of holding onto her through every step!
