Swim Season
Summer in Vegas is HOT! And HOT means lots of pool time. Since we keep our pool fairly warm (to ward off the chills when the dry air meets skin while above water), it’s perfect for baby’s first swim. Lucky for us, Noah (the chillest baby ever) loves the pool and to ride around in his ladybug floatie.
Doozers is perfectly content to kick his little legs and chew on diving rings for the hour or two we all float along with him. Throw in a cup of water and a binky and he’d probably stay there all day. The first few times we pulled on the swim diaper and suit, he kicked his legs like crazy to fight it off; now, though, I think he knows that swimsuits mean a pretty good time and he’s quite cooperative!
Of course, Noah’s had a great example set for him by his part-fish big sister. Ava’s down to just water wings and has become a pro at swimming with her face in the water and jumping from the edges.
Seriously, with all that gear, how could she not be a great swimmer? 
She wears goggles sometimes now and, although we started the summer with them, she no longer needs her ear plugs. Hooray for one less thing to armor up with as we head out the door!
Bottom line, in HOT Vegas, the pool in your own backyard is the the place to be!
