So we joined a new gym (for Reese OF COURSE!!) - In an effort to get her involved in water classes (I don't believe they can be called "lessons" just yet) we joined our local Lifetime Fitness Club. Classes are scheduled to start early April - but we thought an introduction to the pool might be helpful. These photos are actually of her second time in the pool (forgot the camera the first time and REALLY it was enough of a struggle just trying to oraganize just the pool item essentials for the first trip - water diaper - check, swim suit - check, snacks just in case -check, sippie cup to go with possible snack - check, lotion - check, towel - they have those, gym card - check, dry clothes -check, bag for the wet clothes -check, etc.) Needless to say - camera was toward the bottom of the list and didn't quite make the cut! We do love the gym and are excited to have more "family time" together playing at the pools this summer!!

Talking up a storm - and taking a few steps (10-15 at most). We are enjoying every new stage of parenting!! Reese's only issues have been with her skin - she struggled with eczema last summer and we're afraid its back. She also had a recent issue with irritated skin around her eyes - poor thing looked like she had been in a knock down, drag out brawl! Looking better now but we are going to be especially careful in the pool - get her buns in the shower ASAP after getting out! Pool chemicals and sensitive skin don't go together well.


Reese still sucks her thumb whenever she is upset, hungry or getting ready for bed.
