It has been quite hot here in the Midwest recently. The only way I have been able to survive the heat is by logging some serious pool time. Luckily, Will likes the pool as much as I do.
He loves to "swim" with my help. He has gotten really comfortable in the water and I love it!
His new thing is sticking up his legs straight in the air when floating on his back.
His aunties like to call this move "The Will." They are so impressed they have copy him.
Hanging out on the side with his dad. Anthony only gets to make it to the pool with us occasionally.
Sisters at the pool. Sometimes I feel like my life is deja vu. I have spent many hours with these two chicas at this same pool for many summers during my youth.
One of the best things about this pool is "the bench." There is a bench about 15 inches deep (Anthony is sitting on it in one of these photos). Will can easily stand on it and hold onto the side. He loves to watch the water go in and out of the drain and will hold himself there for quite a while. (I am behind him, of course.) It is great for me because I can sit by him and by submerged in the water, unlike in the baby pools that are six inches deep.
I have definitely gotten good use out of my pool pass this year.
Anthony and I also went to the Schlitterbahn water park this past weekend. We didn't take any pictures because I was afraid of ruining our camera. Our time there only cemented in my mind that my dream house will one day have a lazy river. And that tattoos are a bad idea, but that is a whole other post.
Thanks to Doug and Tina for the passes and to Melanie, Laura and Mom for watching Will so we could go!

Looks like so much fun in the water. I spent my summers at the Belmont pool for years and years with my kids, so Will comes to his love for water from both sides of the family. ...and besides, your pool looks a lot nicer.
Will is seriously adorable. And I love that he already loves the water so much...like mother like son. I really wish I could've driven through KC and met him last week!
I've enjoyed hanging at the pool with you and Will this summer. I'm sad that school has started and I can't so much anymore. The pics you put up were super cute, especially the one of you and Wil!
I'm glad that the park was fun for you guys! Will is such a great looking kid! I love his moves. He knows how to work being a baby.
Oh yeah, I really hope that someday you have a lazy river in your house.
