Weekend Fun - Part 2!

Here's some pictures from our Sunday morning at the pool. Amelia showed off to Gramma D all that she's learned in her 4 weeks of swimming classes:

1) Jumping into the water -- she's really getting bold about that, as long as we're close enough to catch her.

I love this picture - he looks like he's negotiating with her:


And then they are cheering each other on:


And then she jumps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7Gfrq3BdWs

2) Front floats/swimming -- she loves floating and swimming on her belly. She's starting to figure out kicking and paddling.

Here's a brief video, except she was so fascinated with the little girl jumping in across the way, that she could not focus! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR-uEjlz8SE

3) Going underwater -- she's always the first kid in her class all wet. She has no fear with this!

4) Back floats -- she HATES these. She puts her hand over her face like she can't even handle what's going on.

5) Singing songs -- she loves when the group sings "Wheels on the bus" (complete with motions) or "Ring Around the Rosie" (complete with underwater dunk!). She gets so excited and wiggly!

6) Going down the kiddie slide -- she's okay with this, as long as you stay with her.
