We went swimming at the Aquatic Center this afternoon. It was so fun. We have been interested in getting Chloe started on swimming as soon as possible. I have done a little research on YouTube and few other sites. Basically, you just push the baby down into the water and I guess they will swim on their own. I was a little skeptical and definitely a little scared. Well, today after she warmed up, which didn't take long she was splashing and squealing after just a few minutes in the pool. I decided to give the swimming idea a try. First, I just did a quick dunk to see how she would react. She didn't cry or even gasp, so I pushed her over to Mamaw and she swam underwater to her!!! She came right up as if she had been doing it her whole life (and by whole life I mean 9 big months). She swam underwater over and over. She was very worn out after our little venture, so we dried off, and headed home for a nap. Our little trip to the pool was pretty amazing. Apparently swimming is very natural for bebes.
Oh, Little Miss can drink out of a straw now and she says "dink" when she wants a little sip. Growing up too, too fast.
Our girl is growing up so fast, I can't believe she is swimming now. She is getting such a distinct personality too :)
