Swimming!

We decided to enroll Finley in a short stint of swimming classes before our trip to California in a few weeks.  She has had 2 classes so far and despite being precariously close to her bedtime, she has loved it!  I enjoyed being that mom snapping pics paparazzi style and Pat has enjoyed being Finley's swimming partner :)


Anxiously awaiting her turn to get in


She looks so tiny, yet so grown up to me :(


She started splashing immediately!


And going in for a taste of H2O


Practicing getting out of the pool


Pushing off the edge


The instructor asked to use Finley as an example of bobbing - basically dunking baby under water.  She blew really hard at Finley's face so she would reflexively close her eyes and hold her breath before the dunk


And coming back up - she screamed for a minute and then was back to loving the water again!


Singing motor boat


Front floating on the mat


It has been so much fun - we can't wait to try this in California!
