Swimming!  

Posted by Amber

Okay, now that I have Henlie's birthday posts up, we need to backtrack a little bit.  Recall our busy day on Tuesday, Oct. 22nd?  Well, we had another fun-filled day on Thursday, Oct. 24th too.

We had tried to take Charlie and Henlie swimming earlier, but the pool was closed for cleaning.  Since we had another warm spell (yay!), we tried again.  Fortunately, the pool was open.  They previously had issues with the pool cover, and I hadn't been since it had been fixed.  It took me a minute to find where to open it now.  Camile had the girls in the bathroom with her while I opened the pool.

Miss Henlie's reaction to coming out and seeing the wide open pool :)

Funny how someone else's toys are always more exciting than your own!

Love this picture of Charlie haha

Henlie and Mom, right before we got out.

We had lots of fun playing with Charlie and Camile in the pool.  It was great because no one else was there :)  Henlie loved it, for the most part ;)  We practiced floating, and there were even a couple of times I could remove one hand for a second.  We tried going underwater, and she did okay with it.  Good thing too because on one trip to sit on the top step, we didn't quite reach, and she fell under.  She didn't seem too traumatized by it.  We had fun playing with Charlie's squirt toys and kicking our frog beach ball.  She loved it when I'd bounce up and down (I was so sore for a couple of days after this...)  She thought it was funny when I'd blow bubbles under the water.  Now we have a whole lot of swim diapers to use before she gains another 6 pounds :)  Too bad I hate walking to the pool in the cold!
