itty bitty bathing suit



We have taken Joanna to my mom's pool to swim a couple times now and I think she really likes it. She has always enjoyed her bathtime in the evenings, so I figured the pool would just be like a giant bath tub for her.  She has discovered splashing, which is so funny because when she gets it in her eyes, it's like 'hey, who did that!' haha

Little babes in bathing suits is also one of the cutest things. I will admit, Joanna has four bathing suits...two of which she has already grown out of. I have never been a big fan of two piece suits for little girls, however, changing a diaper with a one piece is nothing short of annoying. We'll just have to see what she ends up in next year - I am not one to say 'I will never...' I think as a parent that is a guarentee that you will end up doing whatever that might be!

I took these photos of Joanna a couple weeks ago when we finally had a break in the rain. This dress was the first baby item we bought once we found out we were having a girl. I would have never guessed that it would take her 5 months to grow into it! (it's size 0-3 months) I just love my little petite lady. The dress is more pink than it looks in these photos, but since I'm no professional photographer and I don't have any type of Photoshop...we will just deal with the more pink-ish/red-ish look for now. haha I always just think it's a good thing I have the perfect little model for my photos. I mean, really!

Joanna is day by day getting better at sitting up on her own.  A little trick we did for these photos was have Jason slip his arm under the blanket to hold her up...genius, right?  I will say though, that she is a pro at rolling around like a maniac and her army crawl is pretty hard to beat!

- I love how it looks like she is curtsying - 

- their friendship grows each day and it makes me such a proud mama -
