First swim lessons!!

What better way to spend Taylor's last day as a one-year old (have I mentioned that her second birthday is tomorrow?!) than to start swim lessons! The water has always been a big part of my life, so of course we want to get Taylor in the water, too!

Taylor's best buddy, Ty, is swimming with her, too, which is so much fun! (Taylor may be a little smitten with Ty - she has SO much fun with him!! :o))

Honestly, I was a little nervous how Taylor would do. She loves bath time, likes to wade in water at the beach, has fun at the splash zone, but when it comes to deeper water, she is a little more cautious.

But Taylor did GREAT! She went into the water without any issue (which was probably partly due to the fantastically warm water and the fact that she just wanted to go where Ty went) - and had a fun time during the lesson!

"Let's do this" - pound it out :o)

Getting started

Splashing (one of the first activities involved "The Wheels on the Bus" song - a favorite of Tay's)

Getting ready to "blast" off the wall - Taylor really liked launching off the wall with her feet

Swim, swim, swim!

Kick, kick, kick!

Always fun to swim with friends!

It will be a fun few weeks, and a great way to spend some special time with Taylor before her little sister arrives!
