Addison started her first swimming lessons last week, and boy were they a hit! We're in a class called "Aqua Tots" for 9-24 month olds...and I swim with her. Our class is very small, we're down to only 3 other mom/babies. I must have picked the right time slot because the class right before ours has at least 10! The class is 30 minutes, and consists of lots of fun songs and games that help get the babies comfortable in the water. We do lots of splashing, kicking, reaching and pulling, and blowing bubbles! Well, I'm doing most of the bubble blowing, since it's a hard skill to learn for Addison's age group! She's managed to blow a few bubbles, but she's also had some big gulps of pool water! We lucked out last week with gorgeous weather, and we're crossing our fingers that this coming week is nice as well.
In keeping with the swimming theme, we bought Addison a little plastic pool and let her splash around in our yard. Loved it! We also introduced her to the sprinkler...what a hoot to watch her figure that one out!
Still not walking...but she's just now trying to stand up from sitting position, which is a new thing for her. She's also pulling up and cruising along walls in our house, so sooner or later she's going to take those first "real" steps!
I've posted some fun swimming pictures on the photo site. :)
