Meera's First Time in the Pool

Saturday was Meera's first time in the pool! We had all been looking forward to this -- Kyle and Owen especially. I had cleaned K & O's old baby pool and filled it with some water for the sun to warm up. After her afternoon nap Braydon got Meera all suited up, ready for the big plunge.

She was cold at first, but not upset

The boys were all about it

And wanted desperately to get her soaking wet... which she wasn't thrilled about

The baby pool was a lot better

Even when splashed

Meera is always pretty content in Kyle's arms

Well, usually always

With Meera's crying in the baby pool the boys were done and back to their own pool fun

She calmed right down in her Mama's arms

While the boys jumped and swam the rest of the afternoon...

Meera was fast asleep under the umbrella... exhausted

P.S. Our baby, who has never slept more than 3-4 hours in a row slept for 7 straight hours that night! ;)

Bek said...: You do look great. And look at you in a swim suit! That is awesome.

So, the key to getting her to sleep all night is to take the boys swimming? easy peasy!

Glad you are doing well (and how cute is that baby swimsuit. I almost died...); July 14, 2008 7:31 PM

My brand new baby (5 days home, 7 month old) slept for 12 hours last night - oh wow.

About Our Blog

The Johnson-McCormick Family Blog is a blog spot for sharing the scoop on our little family's big life! We are Heather, Braydon, Kyle, Owen, and Meera Johnson-McCormick. Kyle and Owen are twins- born May 8, 2004 in Cite Soleil, Port au Prince, Haiti- adopted January 31, 2005. We became a "Party of 5" when Meera Grace was born to us on May 28, 2008. We have a crazy, fun-filled life with 3 bambinos and 2 big careers all under 1 roof - The point of this blog is three-fold: 1) to keep friends and family posted on K, O, and M's goings on's and our life, 2) to create an historical document/journal/scrapbook of this wild ride, 3) to be out there in the blogosphere -- loud and proud -- doing what we can to support other adoptive/inter-racial families and dual-career families in their journeys. Thanks for reading and following along! As Kyle and Owen say, "It's a bumpy bumpy ride!"(in a good way!).
