Supposedly most babies like water and by six-months are old enough to take to the water. The only proviso is that the water must be warm enough. If it is too cold babies may not like it. Shivering, blue-lipped babies are not cool; They are cold!
The water was a little cold Saturday; Even mom was shivering. It is no wonder baby didn't like it.
But many mothers have a protective, maternal reflex, like this mom. "Dunk my crying child under water? No way!" The little teary eyed baby left the water early, headed for a warm, plush car seat and some cotton flannel pj's.
And she wasn't dunked. Yet. There is always next week.

What a beautiful and cute baby!
She will do very well including with the swimming!
(If she could draw she could have gone for the http://www.onemilliongiraffes.com
Do take a look... and perhaps help her a bit.Or make a family drawing.
She might end up in a book that will be published.)
