Swimming, swimming, and more swimming
Zoe is a fish. If we let her... she would have been in PopPop and Grammy's pool 24 hours a day the whole week we were in Florida. One morning she was literally in the water for over 4 hours straight. The only time she was out during those 4 hours was to head to the potty (because I have the only child in the whole wide world that absolutely refuses to even think about peeing in the pool. She won't even do it when Mommy and Grammy tell her to so we don't have to get out to take her inside the air-conditioned house. PopPop is very happy about that though).
Not only does Zoe think she's a fish... she thinks she can swim like an Olympian. She likes to wear her swimming jacket and swim all by herself. She also thinks she can swim without it, though. One day while I was in the shower Zoe actually decided that she should take the jacket off and jump right into the pool. Grammy said she was under the water kicking away with her eyes wide open... kinda looking like "what happened here?" Grammy was standing right next to the pool watching her and jumped in (fully dressed) and got her right out. Zoe didn't shed one tear... she was ready to jump right back in. The next day she even told me she wanted to take her jacket off again. She informed me "I need to take it off so I can go down and touch the bottom again!" So we WILL be signing up for swim lessons again very soon.
Some pictures of my fish and her swimming companions.

And look! Because so many people can't believe I'm already over 31 weeks pregnant... here is proof. Would you just look at that belly!!!
Oh, and guess who was the first person to skinny dip in PopPop and Grammy's pool!
Sometimes I think we need a pool in our backyard too. But... we'll settle for joining the town pool. That way... I don't have to do any of the work involved in pool care.
