Water baby

Caleb LOVES water! River, sink, ocean, bathtub or toilet water, he loves it all! He is quite fearless, and seems immune to cold water. We know where we will be spending many days this summer, luckily there is both a great river beach and a nice (free) pool right here in Concord.

Here he is on his first adventure to the river this summer (we dragged him there last summer when he was a week old), he went with Ryan and his buddies to fly fish. I handed him, dressed in this stylin get up, to Ryan and said "as a result of your being Irish, you have to take this dorky kid to the beach." We won't discuss who actually brought the white white white skin to this gene pool (me), or the fact that Ryan's supposedly Irish skin gets instantly tan upon contact with the sun's rays (unfair, and also suspicious).

 
Here he is in Kinsale, Virginia (more on that later). The water was freezing, but he sat right down to splash anyways, resulting in a 15 pound diaper. I didn't think we would actually be venturing into that Arctic water.

  1. So adorable! And he is not the only one in the family to jump into freezing water...if I recall something...
    Maddalena on the other hand only likes still water. She eyed the waves at the beach suspiciously and then proceeded to voice her concerns. She much rather hang out in stagnant water.

  2. Luisa is a total water baby too! I have yet to take her to the beach since its been cold and rainy everyday (summer has not received the memo apparently) but she did see a couple kids in an inflatable pool and proceeded to jump in fully clothed! She absolutely loved it and hated me for taking her out. I think I will buy her a little kiddie pool soon. Also, her diaper was at least 15 pounds.

  3. We will definitely have to take them to the beach! Once Summer gets the memo of course.
