She sure is yar

The baby has started boating. We have gone out twice so far, the first time being slightly more successful than the second. The first time we went out was on a sunday, and we were gone for about 4 hours. The boat has a big shade canopy, so we were able to hide out. We spent most of the stopped time in a small bay so she had some freedom. I think she preferred this. The second trip was up the river instead of on the lake. She had to wear her life jacket the whole time as we were moving and I don't think she is a huge fan of it. I guess it will take time for her to get used to it and eventually she won't even notice. The second trip out was in the evening so we were able to sit up front and not hide from the sun. She loved the wind in her baby hair and was screaming happy little yells and smiling the whole ride up river. The ride back she realized it was passed her bedtime, she was wearing a life jacket and it was essentially the same ride, so she cried most of the way back.
We are going to try our luck with number 3 today. This will also be the first boat ride we go on all by ourselves. The other rides we always had an extra set of hands to drop the bumpers and help dock. This time those will be my jobs on top of holding the baby.....solutions.....perhaps. I am going to take the bumbo chair out and put her in it as we get close to the dock. They she can sit on her own for a few minutes while I get us secured to the dock. If this solution works the next step will be to take the baby and dogs both out without extra hands on board.
