Double the FUN! Addison Telling a Story and Swimming on the 4th of July

Addison has been talking up a storm.   We've not had a video camera handy for her longest bouts but did get this just yesterday.   We'll keep trying because her little talking spells are so much fun.   She's got a tooth coming in and is teething quite a bit.

Below are some pictures of her swimming lessons.  She went to Kay's All Swim School for two weeks, 8 sessions and swims like a natural.  If she decides to do triathlon she will kick my butt in the pool, course a log could probably kick my butt in the pool.   She learned how to kick, roll, use her arms and go underwater.  It's actually amazing, she uses our breathing as a cue for when to close her eyes and hold her breath and then dives.

Unfortunately we didn't get any shots of Anna in the pool with Addi.   We told the instructor we wanted to switch at the midpoint of her lesson but got caught up in the time and didn't realize it was almost over.   The lessons are pretty quick - 20 minutes!

Anyhow, here she is!


This is Addi looking at Mom, with Amy her swim instructor.
