The end of swim lessons!

Last night was Millie's last swim lesson! She definitely won the "most improved" award. She learned how to kick while on her tummy and back, float on her back, go underwater, blow bubbles in the water, and jump in from the side of the pool. She loved them and said her favorite part was jumping in the water (see pic below). Shana, her instructor, was a great teacher and Millie will miss her. We definitely have a water bug on our hands and will be spending lots of time at the pool for the next few months. Pretty soon we'll have to get Blaise there as well.

Blaise is still fighting his cold. He has a runny nose, cough, and laryngitis, so when he coos or cries, it is with a hoarsy voice. He had a rough early morning today - not sure if it was from his cold or his reflux (or both). He seemed to be in pain and just couldn't sleep.
Poor baby.



I told Millie's preschool that her last day would be February 23rd. They will be very sad to see her go. She is just excelling there and I am so thankful that we found that school. She loves her teachers, Ms Ann and Ms Teresa. When I picked her up from school today, Ms Ann had the hiccups and she joked with Millie: "Millie will you take my hiccups home with you?" Millie didn't say a word, but looked up at her and started to pretend to hiccup! Today at school they made pinecone birdfeeders. We will hang Millie's on a tree at Nana & Pap Pap's rental house.

We are so glad that some of our friends and family have looked at the blog and have left us comments. Leave us a comment if you are here - we'd love to hear from you!

That photo is AMAZING. I cannot believe her obvious enthusiasm and "throw caution to the wind" approach!!! I need that secret!

So cute about the hiccup!

I can't belive how much they are growing. WTG, Millie on becoming a waterbug! She sounds feraless in the water. Very sweet story about her hiccup. I hope that Blaise starts to feel better soon.
