Swim Time

The big news this week is I signed Ashlyn up for swimming lessons at the YMCA. We bought her a little inflatable pool a while ago. This week has finally been nice enough to fill it up. She LOVES it! She never wants to get out. She just splashes and has the time of her life. I have been wanting to do swimming lessons for a long time. I finally looked into it this week and I am glad I did. They are just getting ready to start a new session this week. We will go 4 times and each lesson is 30 minutes long. I am excited because I get to do it with her. I think it will be a lot of fun for the both of us!

Ashlyn is really on the move now. She is crawling around the house like crazy! She is really fast too. She has turned very curious and loves to get into everything! We are now taking everything off the coffee table. She just wants to explore and explore. She always has a smile on her face while she does it. Our coffee table is really high. Today, I looked over and she had pulled her self up to the top. (I will try to get a picture of it.) Today, Joey lowered her crib to the lowest setting. Since she is starting to pull her self up a lot and I do not want her to be able to flip herself out of the crib. It is a bit harder to get her in and out of it, but it is for her safety.

Today, we went to the Renaissance Festival. We had a really good time. It was not too hot when we first got there, but it warmed up quite a bit. We had fun eating junk food and watching the entertaining shows. We took Ashlyn on this swing type thing that they push you on. They were extra gentle because she was on it. She really liked it. We took pictures, but they are on the camera still and I don't know where it is right now. I will post them next week.

I will update next week about the first swimming lesson.
