Addie's first swim!

We took Adalynn for her first swim today! It actually did not start out great at all. She definitely was not loving the cooler water. We even had a little floatie ring for her, but she refused to sit in it. About an hour later we had given up hope. As a last effort, I waded into the shallow end of the pool with her and sat down on the steps. Turns out, the girl just wanted room to play on her own! She ended up having a blast and we had a blast with her. Now be prepared for an absolute overload of pictures! =] 






 At this moment in time, Addie was more concerned with the wet grass on the sidewalk than actually playing in the pool.





We finally got her to splash around a little bit.


Then it was back to the sidewalk



Isn't she just gorgeous?!




Finally done for the day and just waiting for daddy to come down the slide.

Swimming isn't all we've been up to. We've been obsessed with the Olympics lately! Adalynn and daddy watched some beach volleyball, and Addie actually sat and watched the whole thing! Looks like she's taking after her momma!

Updates

As of today, Adalynn is now a standing champion! She can stand completely on her own. I think she's going to be taking those first steps any day now, which honestly makes me sad... I don't want my little princess to grow up! She's also developed quite the strong-willed personality. She's the cutest little diva ever, who always wants things her way. She's so strong and brave, and fears absolutely nothing, we constantly have to watch her to make sure she doesn't decide to dive off the couch. I love her little diva personality and I wouldn't have her any other way!
