Bathing Beauty

For the last two weeks, Audrey has been taking swimming lessons at the YMCA and mom and baby are both loving them. Audrey has been learning important skills such as back and tummy floating, jumping into the water, kicking with her legs, and splashing with her arms. The first week she laughed and smiled through the entire lesson. This week, not having had her nap beforehand, she was a little less ecstatic, but content and engaged nonetheless.

Although Brian was a little reluctant to be that dad showing up at the pool wielding both camcorder and camera ready to capture all of the action, his anxiety was allayed when he saw that he was just one of many dads who had been assigned those duties. After recording Audrey do the water Hokey Pokey and lots of kicking and splashing, dad got in and enjoyed some of the fun with his little swimmer too. Here are a few photos of the fun:

In other news, we found out at 4:30 on Friday that she will have her ERG done on Tuesday morning at 5:30pm. We'll be heading up to Redlands to visit Babs and Jerry on Memorial day and we'll drive to LA from there. We'll update when we find out more!
