How My Babies Have Grown

Well, it finally got hot here so we got out the kid's baby pool that they got for their birthday last year. They still loved playing in it but there was certainly a lot less room to move around this year. The first pic is from last year and the second pic is this year's, check out my chubby babies turned lean toddlers!

It's Like Looking in a Mirror

I just love this picture, I don't even know when they took it, one day when I was at work, I guess. So this is what they do all day, play and have fun? That's how it should be. I would love to be the one at home with them and know I will be soon enough, but they have THE BEST daddy ever and as you can see by this pic, Elizabeth thinks so too. That is my little girl right there, sometimes I still can't believe it.

Fun in the pool, Floaties rule

We have taken the kids swimming a couple of times this year, well when I say swimming I mean we take them to a friends neighborhood pool to play in the 1 foot baby pool. The first time we just let them walk around but they kept falling over and into the water and even though we were right there, it really stressed me out. So this time we got them Floaties and they worked great! It was much more relaxing this time, and the kids had a blast! Daniel even sort of figured out swimming and was bending his knees and floating in the water. Elizabeth is our little fish, she absolutely loves swimming and couldn't get enough! We are encouraging them to blow bubbles in the water in the pool and the bathtub, apparently that is the first step in getting them used to swimming underwater. We will probably look into official swimming lessons soon.
