Today marked a major milestone in the Mommy Daughter world. Swimming Lessons! The Local Rec Center offers 6 weeks of lessons for just $32, I couldn’t pass that up, and Addie just loved it!
We arrived at the pool and she immediately started walking right into the water. It got almost to her chin before I scooped her up and started wading over to the lessons.
Lessons start with the Wheels on the Bus, then onto floating, kicking, water noodles, and blowing bubbles, jumping in on cue, and finally motorboat.
What a great way to spend a Saturday Morning! I think we might just keep these going!
Here we are “on the bus”… the wheels just keep going round and round.
Baby Fat is good for something, not only does it look cute, it is buoyant! (note to self: Remove mascara before swim class)
Playing with Water Noodles and the first attempt at bubble blowing
Getting ready to jump in
Once Addie figured out she could blow bubbles, that was the best part!
I know I haven’t posted in a while, and I promise I will soon. Much has happened in the house of Bennion. The NEW house of Bennion, but courtesy of Cakewrecks, I saw this video that was just too cute to not pass on.
For those who know Eddie Izzard’s comedy, this will be wonderful… for those that don’t I highly reccomend you seek out his stand up comedy acts. He is absolutely hilarious!
Adeline,
My dear sweet child, I look back on photos of you just a few months ago, the milestones you were hitting and the discoveries you were making. Your Daddy and I were so thrilled when you rolled over, and how we coaxed you to do so. When you stood up on your own for the first time, when you laughed a forced laugh, just to make us smile.
Now as you continue to grow and develop, you are able to “crawl the wall” and stand with no support. How proud we are of you! Simply hearing you say “mama” and “dada” brings a smile to our lips. Seeing you play with the “Da’s” is so much fun. Chopper has taken you on as one of his own and will protect you from all harm. Tank, well Tank just likes to lick your face after you eat bananas.
Next month is your birthday! I cannot understand how time has slipped by me. At this time last year, people were wondering if you would show by June 1st. How I longed to meet you. How i wished I could just hold you in my arms, I more than anyone, wanted you to arrive. Just a few weeks later, you made your grand entrance into the world.
You are so much more than I could have ever hoped for. You are so much more than I ever imagined. My love for you grows day by day and I cannot imagine my life without you.
