Our new little swimmer!

Well Sofie has hit some new marks.

We are slowly getting her off the bottle or as Sofie calls it..."ba-ba". Nick and I wanted to wait until she was off formula and now that she is drinking regular milk and eating more and more "table food" we thought it would be the right time. So far, things have gone smoothly.
She is becoming such a big girl and taking nicely to the sippy cup. She's used a sippy cup for several months now, but we are now using it exclusively. This weekend was our first attempt and so far, it's worked out splendidly!

And now, introducing


SUPER SOFIE the SWIMMER!!!

This weekend was the first swim lesson. She was such a natural in the water. Although, we were not at all surprised. This kid LOVES the water. She cries when it's time for her to get out of the bath tub. She has always loved taking baths and really enjoyed swimming at her Nana and Papa's house last summer. Last week was her scheduled lesson, however she was sick with a cough and runny nose. So we had to reschedule it for this weekend.

I was suppose to get into the water with her and do the whole "mommy and me" thing and then I came down with a sinus infection (yuck-it's horrible)~! So, Nick thought it would be a great opportunity for the two of them to have this together. I LOVED seeing the two of them in the water and having such a great time.

Sofie was so excited to get into the water, she was all set with her swim diaper and new baby speedo.

Here is Sofie learning how to float on her back. Look at that belly! I can't believe it, she's not a little baby anymore. She is getting so big...

Sofie, always willing to share-

During the last 10 min of the lesson, she started getting a little grumpy and water logged.

We were so very proud of Sofia this weekend. She is getting so big and changing each day. Nick and I feel so blessed to have her. We can't wait to continue to experience all these great new adventures with her together as a family. We know the best is yet to come!
