Water Baby

This week has been a hot one - midday temperatures in the high nineties outside and in the mid eighties in the house. The heat makes Claira (and her dad, let's be honest) kind of cranky, so when our friends invited us to a pool party at their apartment, we jumped at the opportunity. Claira Jane's first swim:

First time in the water. We tried to introduce her to the pool slowly, but she did not like having just her feet in (the water was a bit chilly for our taste - and hers, apparently)

But once we got her in the water, she was happy (or at least she had stopped crying). Notice how she's looking away from her dad's blinding pastiness.

Claira and Miles, her first boyfriend (getting a little handsy for my taste). He pays her a lot of attention, mostly in the way of smiles in her direction, but she treats him with snooty indifference. She's cute and she knows it. We'll have to work on that.
