She loves water
We haven’t been able to take her swimming yet but we did the next best thing. No bath in the sink, no bath in her little tub...We filled our soaker tub up with water and then gently lowered her in. She loved the vastness of all the water and after a couple of seconds began splashing away. I picked up a yellow rubber ducky for her earlier that morning so I tossed that in the tub. Holding her on her tummy with my hands, she kicked, and made splashing, swimming motions with her arms as she chased the ducky down. For the next 10 minutes, she chased that ducky around the tub as I moved her back and forth. Every once in a while I pulled her up to sit on my knee on the side of the tub as she panted with excitement. Then she tried to dive back in after the ducky.

Cami you have to take Leiah to mom and baby swim at the pool she would love it!! She seems to love being around other babies so it would be a double fun time for her and it's a great way to meet people who maybe don't go to church...fun fun fun..learning to swim is one of the few sports that would save your life. Leiah is getting so big it's hard to believe thanks for keeping us updated I love your blog :o)
It is never too early to start and it is great if you can get them excited about the water before they are scared of it. Anytime you want to bring her for a swim in the hot tub let us know, we will turn it to bath water temp and the girls can have a blast :-)
