First day of swim lessons

Elayna started swim lessons tonigt. It's the ISR program (infant swimming resource, I think). Basically it teaches infants how to turn onto their backs and float if they were to fall in water.

Ellie is a water baby. Loves being in Nana and Papa's pool, kcks her legs, splashes the water, dunks her own head. So we thought this would be a breeze...

Now I know it's only day one, but she hated it! Screamed and cried the whoke time. I'm traumatizing my daughter. And the best part? We go back tomorrow. And the next day.

I know this is a good thing for her, but it's a huge committment. Hopefully she'll catch on super soon.

8 months!!!

Dear Elayna,

You're 8 months old today. I can't believe it. Unfortunately, I was sick today so only got a couple of pics of you in your highchair. At 8 months you:

Have one tooth (lower left)
Are crawling
Wearing size 2 diapers
Hate being in your carseat
Will be starting swim lessons tomorrow (supposed to be today, but with me being sick I had to put it off)
Are eating lots of solids
Still love nursing
Pull yourself to standing on EVERYTHING
hair has a definite red tint

I love you!
