Raising the Water Table

Jonah enjoyed his first birthday weekend with lots of family visiting. We will probably make several posts about the weekend over the next few days, but I wanted to share a little play time from one of his presents that was enjoyed by Jonah, his cousins, and one of my cousins.

Jonah loves bath time and generally anything having to do with water. The one exception being getting his hands and face cleaned after a meal. When this present, a play table with a water wheel, arrived from Uncle Russ and Auntie Shannon, we were looking forward to seeing his reaction. We weren't disappointed.

Here is some video of Jonah having fun.

Unfortunately, it wasn't all good times in the water. It was a nice day, so we decided to fill up one of Jonah's new pools (also from Uncle Russ and Aunt Shannon). Despite the warm weather though, the water from the hose was very cold. Jonah, Alex, and Grant all got dressed to swim, but we wanted to let Jonah get in the pool first.

"Oooh! Water!"

Testing the waters...

"Get me out of here!!"

You can see more of the pictures from Jonah's birthday on our photo site.

Jonah was not permanently scarred by his pool experience, though. We went to a neighborhood wading pool at the local park today, and he had some fun there. We'll post more on that later.
