Swimming Class
Reese and I started another swimming class this year. She hasn't really been in the water all that much, so I was curious to see how she'd react. Well the first week she seemed pretty bored with the whole thing. Certainly no splashing and screaming like all of the other kids. But she didn't seem to mind it either. Week 2 she seemed to warm up to it a bit more as you can see from the pictures.
This picture was taken just seconds after I dunked her underwater for the very first time. She did really well......no screaming or fussing. But as you can see, she doesn't look super-impressed!
Being only 18 months old, she doesn't really follow directions as well as some of the older kids do. We didn't have much luck with blowing bubbles, kicking or "just hanging onto" this floating mat. Reese insisted on climbing right onto it. Oh well, she wasn't the only one and she seemed to enjoy it.
Here she is getting ready to take the plunge. Again, seemingly unimpressed.
And might I mention kudos to moi for being brave enough to squeeze myself into a bathing suit at 5 months pregnant!
Reese had her (gulp!) 18 month checkup the other day. She's doing just great and at 28 lbs and 85 cm tall she remains at the very high end of normal for her age. She was a model patient for her checkup, I was so proud......and then the needles came out.......3 of them to be exact. You would have thought someone was actually trying to murder her. I felt so badly for all the other patients at the office that day. Needless to say, we survived. Her fourth eye tooth is just about to poke through and praise the lord, I think we're done until the 2 year molars! Teething has not been particularly fun for Reese, or Mom and Dad for that matter!

I think she is planning for the 2016 Olympics! Looks so cute in her swimsuit. And nobody could tell that Mom is 5 months!
My youngest one doesn't make a peep when he gets needles. (Needs one this summer before starting big school! Actually, I think they get two now.) But the oldest one... He's terrible. He usually needs to be held down.
Both of you look like you are having a great time and you both look great!!
