Swimming!!

So before we could go swimming, we had to have a snack for energy. Nick tried a mum-mum rice cracker thing for the first time. It took him a little bit to get used to the concept of feeding himself the cracker, but with a little help he soon figured it out.
The crackers disolve really easilly so by the time he was done, there was mum-mum globs and stickiness all over Nick, his clothes and the bumbo. Oh well, at least it was cute and he seemed to like the whole feeding himself concept.
So now that we had our energy and half a gallon of sunscreen slathered on, it was time to introduce Nick to the pool! Doesn't he look so adorable in his little bathing suit?!
Dad gradually took him into the water... and although it was warm (like 85 degrees - my kind of temperature) the poor thing still cried.
It took some (okay a lot) of coaxing and cooing but we eventually got him to tolerate the water for a bit.

Despite the crying and seemingly "traumatic" few minutes in the water, all in all Nick seemed to have fun. At the end of the day, he just wants to chew on his fist... if only he'll always be this easy to please...
