First Swimming Lesson!!!

Today Ben and I went to Babies R Us on a mission to find Ivy some swim pants and a little suit.

We found both. YAY.

Ivy woke up from her nap at 6:45 this evening so we decided to take her to Columbia Pool near our house. This pool is a warm water pool, 85 degrees, so it's better for her tiny self right now.

The air at the pool was nice and warm so it was a good night to take her swimming.

When she first got in the water with Ben she fussed a bit and was a little unsure. However, after Ben got her wet and started moving around she seemed to have a great time. She is a buoyant little bean. Ben put her on her back and held her head up, but the rest of the floating was all Ivy. She's a strong one! Ben would move her around and she kicked her little feet. She 'swam' for about 25 minutes. It was so amazing and so wonderful to watch! Can't wait til next time.

I took a TON of pictures. I hope you enjoy them ALL.

And heres a picture of Ben with the 'kids'.
