Our Little Fish

This week, as part of all of our Fourth of July festivities, we went swimming at MeMe's pool. In past years, Elizabeth has not really enjoyed swimming...but this year she loves it! It makes me happy to see her so happy.


With Grandma and Uncle Bill's help, Elizabeth did really good getting all around the pool. She loves to lay on her tummy and kick while they lead her around. She always gets so proud and yells at everyone, "Watch Me!".


You can tell that Elizabeth just adores her grandma. She totally trusts her and feels totally at ease in her arms.


While at the pool today, my Mom taught Elizabeth something new. My mom showed Elizabeth how you can kick of the edge of the pool and float backwards. This is Elizabeth's new favorite trick...as long as she doesn't get water on her face.

One of the times, Elizabeth kicked off from the wall when my Mom wasn't expecting her too. Elizabeth's head went under the water a little bit before my Mom caught her. My Mom tried to laugh it off and said, "That was good!" Elizabeth looked at my Mom and said, "That was not good!"


Zachary seemed to enjoy the sunshine, while sitting with Matt and me. I cannot wait until next year when we can take him into the pool too!
