Pretty Alegra

I can't believe how big Alegra is getting. She talks so well and understands so much that sometimes I forget she is only 2 1/2. She is so sweet and loves to be a little ham. She is REALLY into the "cool" this summer, which is the "pool". For some reason she says it with a "c" even though we have practiced. We went to the pool on Friday afternoon with our cousins who are in town Nicholas, Clara, Ezra, and Aunt Katie. It was actually Ezra's 1st birthday on Friday. I didn't really have too much help so I put Alegra in floaties. They have a 3 foot section and she stayed in that section. I kept my eye on her the whole time and she did amazing. She was totally practicing swimming with her head under and everything. She swam so much that she was almost delirious with exhaustion when we left. I love this age because they seem so uninhibited. Cruz used to be like this but he is starting to come up with fears and excuses, which is totally normal, but in some ways it is nice when they are just willing to try stuff. Cruz is doing great with swimming too. He is all over the deep end of the pool and he goes to his back when he gets in trouble. He loves going off the diving board doing turns and cannonballs. He had a blast playing with water guns with Nicholas Raddon.

Legs and all her gear!

Happy 1st Birthday Ezra! I like to call him BRICK because he is a Brown version of Nick!
