All About Claire

For the past six weeks Claire had swimming lessons. Here she is one day before the lessons started...she said she was a bathing beauty!
This pictures is from her first swimming lesson. She was terrified of putting her ears and face in the water. I wasn't so sure she would want to go back after this lesson.
She now owns swim goggles and that made her braver in the water. She loved this kick boards so much. She now owns and Little Mermaid kick board of her own now.
This pictures is from her last lesson. She will now put her face in the water and her ears. She is getting so good and she loves the water. She can't wait to have more swimming lessons.
Here is Claire with her swimming teacher...teacher Terry. Claire really loved teacher Terry!
Her is a video of Claire and her fifth swim lesson. We are so proud of her. She went from being terrified to put her face and ears in the water to really enjoying doing it....as long as she has her swim goggles on.

All About Mia

Mia is now 9 months old. I can't believe it. She is in the 90th percentile in both her height and weight. She is just a joy to have in our family. I mean look at this smile...
We recently went to a birthday party where there girls got to be fairy princesses. Mia even got to join in. She was so proud of her crown, wings, tutu and wand.
In our household we don't teach our children to throw their hands in the air and say "so big" we teach them to throw their arms in the air and say "TOUCHDOWN"! Mia is catching on...if you listen carefully at the end you can hear her attempt to say touchdown.

The other day when I took Mia to the doctor for her 9 month check up, she started doing this in the doctor's office.
