Yesterday was Leina’s first swim class and she did great! It took her a while to warm up to the water but once she did she was splashing and kicking up a storm. She looks so sweet in her little bikini. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to snap a picture but I’m definately going to get a shot of her in her hot bathing suit next week!<\/p>\n

She had a blast right up until I dunked her. Not on purpose mind you, but nevertheless, her little face went right under and man did that freak her out! She came up sputtering for air, her eyes wide and her lashes plastered together. She looked around the pool in absolute horror and was winding up for the mother of all screams when everyone started cheering. “Yeah Leina!” “Good baby!” they all cried. Leina, being the center of attention loving Leo that she is, went from terror to delight as she realized that the whole swim class was smiling and clapping at her.<\/p>\n

I’m telling you, you can’t turn your back on these kids for one second or they’re falling off the sofa or dunking their faces in the pool. I’m going to have to work on developing eyes on the back of my head I think. Just yesterday I got her all dolled up to go over to her grandparents house to celebrate an engagement of her auntie Laura. She was in her pink dress and white tights. I put her on her play mat and told Artie to watch her while I went to change myself. When I came back, she had managed to roll over a few times, off her play mat, and into the fireplace!!! Her cute pink outfit was now more of a sooty color and her white tights were now a very chic charcoal. Artie it seems had fallen asleep during baby duty. Of course now that she has learned how to cross a room by rolling, she is all over the place. Every time I turn my back she heads for that fireplace. I shudder to think what will happen when she starts to crawl!<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful spring day so we’re off for a stroller ride. But before we go, I thought I’d leave you with a photo of Leina doing her EdithAnne impersonation. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
