First Firsts and Swimming

Over the past week or so Dominic has been experiencing new things: first time in the bumbo and first trip in the baby bjorn. He has been been a trooper about everything. I'm waiting for the ground to dry up a little and then he is going to have his for time playing in the grass! He can now consistently roll from his stomach to his back and we are working on the other direction. Lastly, Dominic has started to watch the "My Baby Can Read" movies, although only for about 10 minutes. He stares at it and then see's his favorite thing -- the ceiling fan. In a battle between "My Baby Can Read" and the ceiling fan, the ceiling fan win's every time! Gianna has been battling her fear of swimming. We didn't actually think it existed considering she spent time with Daddy at the pool in Florida although last week at swim class she wouldn't let go of me at all. She wouldn't slide in the pool, play with the toys, hold the noodle, kick or blow bubbles. In an effort to make her more comfortable we took a family trip to the local indoor pool last night. By the end of the trip, she was able to run in the water (it was only 3 ft deep), we were dancing and holding onto each others hands, and going down the toddler water slide. I would consider it a success but we will see when she has swim class on Saturday! Keep your fingers crossed. Here are some recent pictures as well as my favorite one of the kids so far!
