diaper dip.

For the past two weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, Eli and I, along with my friend, Kelly, and her beautiful little gal, Ava (7 months), enjoyed a "Diaper Dip" swim class at one of Louisville's YMCA branches. What fun we had with these little swimmers! While Eli and Ava were the youngest of the 6-17 month swimmers, they both thoroughly loved the water, while splashing, "swimming" on their bellies, floating on their backs, and chasing turtle floaties around the shallow end. Eli and I were so thrilled that Andy was able to come during our last class to watch his little swimmer and to of course be the proud photographer. What a special, special time with my little guy!

Before each class, these little swimmers
would
"stretch out" on their towels.

Suprisingly, while the indoor thermostat in the pool area read 100 degrees, the water was always colder than we expected. Eli always smiled wide when the water would touch his cute belly!

...Kicking his legs (mermaid style with lots and lots of "bum" action)
and reaching, reaching, reaching with his arms
to get the floating turtle...


Ava was quite the pro at going under the water.

What fun we had! We can't wait until our beach vacation!

Fun on his belly, while sitting up, and laying on his back ...Eli loved these floating fish...
