Time For An Update / Priya's First Swim Class

It's been a while since I've put anything new on our blog. Time for an update!

Priya enjoys her first "biter biscuit" and makes quite a mess in the process. At least she enjoyed herself! :)

Priya gets ready for church on Sunday. She loves playtime in the nursery!


Today was Priya's first swim class! What an experience it was! We were joined by our good friends Andrea & Madilynn Mullens for a 45 minute session at the Redding aquatic center. There was one other baby and mommy in our group. Both of our girls took the water right away and had a fabulous time splashing around and playing. I was surprised by all that the instructor had us do with them. We sang songs, practiced blowing bubbles (well, the mommies did at least), had the babies float on their backs and on their tummies and practice moving their arms in swimming motions and kicking. We held them as they glided across the water towards toys that we threw in front of them. The class culminated with a full dunk at the end! Both Andrea & I were a little surprised by that and chickened out initially. But in the end we were able to dunk our little ones and were pleasantly surprised by how great they did! It was a wonderful experience and we're excited to go again tomorrow! The class runs Mon-Wed this week and then Mon-Fri next week.

Priya's very first experience in a swimming pool.

Hmmm...do you think Mommy would be mad if I crawled to the pool and got back in?
