Little Swimmer

Group circle, we're in the top middle

My parents came to watch Lena's swim class today. Next week is our last class. I hope to come back next summer. We've really enjoyed the class. By the way, Lena turns 5 months on Saturday. She's sitting up all by herself now.

Happy Bath

Lena loves taking baths in her big-baby tub. She actually gets upset if I cut the bath too short. She loves to kick and splash and get me as wet as possible. I think going to swim class once a week has really improved her bath time. She loves water!

BFF

We had our friends Misty and Brian over for dinner on Monday with their little girl Sydney. She was born five days after Lena. I think they're going to be great friends. Wednesday we started our Bathtime Baby swim class at Elmer's Swim School. Sydney and Misty are in our class. Lena loved the water and kicked really hard. Being in a big warm pool was much better than taking a bath on the patio. I appreciated how light Lena was in the water. Hopefully, I'll figure out a way to get some pictures of swim school.

P.S. For those of you viewing from a distance I should add, Sydney is not a small baby. It's just that Lena is exceptionally large. She's over 15 lbs. at 12 weeks. We're meeting babies much older than her that she outweighs and actually, I think Lena is pretty lean in a pudgy baby kind of way. :)
