Last week, I shared Emma’s first swim class experience here back in the summer of 2010, when I was still pregnant with Lily.
This week, I thought I would zoom ahead one year’s time and share the first summertime swim pictures of the season for both Emma and Lily.
Emma was on her way to two years old at this point and an old pro at swimming in her little kiddie pool. She was wearing her favorite sunglasses, splashing around, running in and out of the pool and just creating her own brand of fun here.
And, Lily was right around 6 months here. This was her first time ever to wear a bathing suit. She tried the pool for a few minutes, but rather just hang out with mommy and nanny catching some rays. No worries she was lathered in California Baby Sunscreen and wearing her best sunhat to keep her little fair almost bald head protected, too.
Hope you enjoyed my bathing beauties circa 2011 and if you couldn’t tell how excited I am for the warmer, pool-like weather by swim pictures two weeks in a row, well now you know!!

Thanks Judy for hosting the awesome linkup again and those truly were Emma' favorite sunglasses that whole summer!! 🙂
Melissa S. says
How did you get her to keep the hat on her head? I have never learned the trick to that! And you know I love pool time, too 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Melissa, about a week after this she realized she could take the hat off and the battle that summer for me began, lol!! And so with you on the love of pool time, too!! 🙂

I know Kera. When I put this together, I was hoping for warmer weather. So hopin that they are right and it will be this weekend!! 🙂 🙂

Janine Huldie says
Oh thanks Corinne. Emma is pretty good actually and she even had a blast at the beach house we vacationed at last summer. So impressed by how much she loves the water and how she would stay in there all day all long if she could!! 🙂
Jelli says
That flowered swimsuit is way cute. I have a cute Hello Kitty suit for Summerbeth, but it doesn't get too much wear AND we usually top it with a UV rashguard, so that poor little suit never gets seen.
Janine Huldie says
Oh we too have Hello Kitty Swimsuits for this year, as well a rashguards for my younger daughter, because she is so far and burns pretty easily. Thanks Jelli!! 🙂
Lisa Newlin says
OMG! I can't believe how little the girls were then. I guess I've only "known" them as older, so it's strange to see them so young. But they are rocking the outfits and you're right, that sun hat is where it's at! I would totally rock that look.
Janine Huldie says
Lol, would so love to rock the sunhat and look that cute, too!! But seriously thanks so much Lisa and I see these pictures and think pretty much the same that my kids are truly growing up too quickly!!
Brewed Together says

Those are cute bathing beauties! I am ready for warmer weather and we are looking forward to going on our first beach trip of the summer today, but I wasn't prepared for it to be nearly 100 degrees yesterday. That's a bit much for June 1st! But I'm going with it today and have packed the SPF 50 and a hat!
