Firsts

So yesterday (5/7/10) Maggie ate her first vegetable, green beans. It was slightly boring. She didn't make a face. She didn't try to spit it out. She just ate the green beans just as if it were cereal. I was expected something funny. I was expecting something fun. But nope, she just ate. So I guess we at least know she is going to be a good eater. Probably a great eater, at least that is what I am hoping for.

Today she got in the swimming pool for the first time. We went through the whole ordeal. Sunscreen on 30 minutes early. Huggies Little Swimmers diaper. Cute bathing suit. Cute hat with a strap. Sunglasses. All of it. And we headed outside to the swimming pool. Scott got in the pool first and I handed Maggie into him. And she cried. Not wailed, but she definitely wasn't having it. We put her in the float we have for her. And she cried. Scott held her again. She cried some more. So swimming pool trial #1 was a FAIL.

We think the water was too cold for her at a mere 86 degrees. We are hoping the water warms up and she likes swimming more, because Scott and I both love to be in the water. And Maggie loves her baths, so we are hoping this passes and she eventually likes the swimming pool.

(Pictures of both of these to come soon.)
