In The Pool

Took the camera with us today and got a bunch of photos. We have 2 other people in the class, another girl who's 8 months and a boy, Theo, who is 7 months. They've got hand control, but we are still cuter !

I've been neglect in updating the journal and uploading pictures so I'm doing both. There are a few new pictures in the gallery, be sure to click on the second page. Started back to bowling, got a new job and still swimming with the munchkin. She's getting big and we have our 4 month visit in a few weeks - WOW can you believe it.

It was miss Viv's first swimming class today. She's is a seahorse at a le petit dauphin, which is a salt water pool in Beaverton. They usually wait until they are 16 weeks, but I mentioned she's good in the water/bath and I was a water baby too, so they let me start her a few weeks earlier.

She had an absolute blast! At first she was just looking around trying to figure out what was going on, but then she was giggling and wiggling about. She went under the water about a dozen times and only squeaked a little once, towards the end of the lesson. We ended up hanging in the pool for another 5/10 mins after class floating on her back. She likes that she can see me and had a big smile.

The class uses songs (10 Little Monkeys, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, London Bridges, Ol' McDonald, Wheels on the Bus and more) with water games to teach the kids to swim. She's got 9 more classes and we'll see how she's digging it.

I'll get pictures next time when John comes with too.

Vivian is lying in her bed starring at the ceiling fan in Terry/Kim's living room. Actually she's chatting with it as well =) She started giggling and smiling more regularly now. Kimberley gets her chatting up a storm. Terry, Kim and John hit a bday party last night for a little while and Viv/I hung out at the house and caught up. It's been a week and I've been able to hold her maybe once. The relatives were definitely smitten with her. Dad and Mom of course were a whole different story. I think Mom bribed a TSA at the airport to find out the exact second I landed and Dad wouldn't let me even touch the car seat the whole time. At one point I was leaning on the door, he jumped out of the car (I'm not sure we had come to a complete stop, the car wasn't in park yet) and opened the back door to grab Vivian and I almost flew out into the front yard of his house. Well, at least I know she's very very loved. Still have a lot of fun times to talk about. We were down in Philly for 3 days, then Vermont for 5 days (one with Deb, Joe, Ruthie and Vaughn) and now here in Granby for a few. Viv had her first date on Thursday with an older boy - he was about 10 days older. Wow the stories to tell and I've got a few snapshots of them too. I'm going to crash back out, it's a little after 7am here. Viv is starting to quiet down a bit and I'm going to get some more sleep.
