Little fish

We've been having some terrific weather lately.  Last week we had temps reaching 80 degrees....I'll take that!  It was perfect especially having a long weekend off with Patriot's Day (a local Boston holiday).  So of course we took full advantage and spent a lot of time outside for our last yard sale, sitting outside, and going to the beach.

All covered at the beach.  It was hot so I didn't dare chancing her in the sun with bare skin

She loves her Puffs

This weekend was pretty low-key.  We got together with some friends, had some delicious sushi, watched a lot of Bruins hockey, and went swimming!  We were supposed to have Ellie's 6 month pictures taken but our photographer's new studio wasn't quite ready and the weather threatened rain so we decided to postpone until next weekend.

We did however take Ellie to the pool for the first time.  I gotta say, it was one of the cutest things ever!   Little baby rolls and teeny-tiny bathing suits....melt my heart!  I was the photographer and daddy Dave plunged right in to hang out with the little one.  It was in a saline pool so we were able to avoid the harsh chlorine for her first time.  Ellie absolutely loved it!  I took a few pictures and video of her splashing around.  She also starting kicking her feet and moving her body like a little mermaid :)  I can't wait until we head down to NJ because there is a nice, big pool for kids near our house.  She's proven to be a little water baby already.

Here's a quick clip of her swimming skills:

Hope everyone is enjoying the rest of the weekend.  Have a great week!!!
