Little Fishy!

Hello again! Ok, so the big news is that Olivia had her first swim lesson on Friday evening. It is a 6-week Parent and Tot class that teaches babies and toddlers to get used to being in the water and learn some basics. We're working up to the last class where they will go under water!!

Well, Grant usually works on Friday evenings so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get any pictures. BUT . . . there was this other little baby (the only one younger than Olivia), Sophia, who was 7 months old and they brought their whole family with them (mom, dad, aunt, and grandparents). I had asked the aunt if she wouldn't mind taking a picture of us since Grant couldn't be there - well, wouldn't ya know it - she offered to be our "personal photographer" for the whole class!! Isn't that so nice! Their whole family was super nice and cheered on Olivia the entire class. So, as luck would have it - I have tons of pictures AND videos to share with you of Olivia's first swim class. She seemed to enjoy the water and spent a lot of time looking around taking it all in.

First - let's check out this little cutie in her cherry swimsuit:



What a little cutie!


Ok, now here are some pictures from the class. The first one is of us learning how to kick out legs.

Now, we're just posing for the camera:

Here she is reaching for the ducky (just like the one at Grandma's house) practicing moving around in the water:

Practice, practice, practice . . .


At the end of the class, we sang a little song (based on "The wheels of the bus go round and round") to practice all the new things we learned. Here you'll get to see us put it all together:

We also had another first for Olivia this weekend. We took her to the Red and White NC State Football game on Saturday. We didn't stay very long because she didn't seem to enjoy it as much as daddy had hoped. (I think it was a little bright out for her and she is still getting over her cold.) But we did get a few pictures to remember the occasion.

And the last thing of note is that, when we looked in her mouth to check the progress of her 2 top teeth, we noticed that there are actually 3 top teeth coming in! Check it out! (the third on is on the left in this picture)
