Another Week of Firsts!

Who would have thought that blogging would actually teach me something? I'm learning that every week is a week of firsts, and since I'm blogging them, I'm catching them. I love it! Aubrey found Caroline's playball whistle and figured out how to work it. It was quite entertaining watching her blow into it, not to mention that she cracked herself up as well. I can't seem to get my video to upload, so I uploaded them to youtube and added the link. I'm still learning, what can I say?!

This week both Aubrey and Caroline took swimming lessons! I know, Aubrey too!! They girls did great! Aubrey laughed the first day, screamed the second day, and on the third day, got rings off the bottom of the pool! Yes, that's right, my brilliant :-) 15 month old, with a little help, got rings of the bottom of the pool!! I was hesitant about them telling me that Aubrey could learn to swim, but I am a believer now! Caroline has also blossomed! She began the week by screaming; however, now, she swims, jumps in, floats on her back and dives!!! She's also taking lessons next week, so she'll probably be doing a full flip or scuba diving at the end. The possibilities are endless!! I've posted two videos of Caroline. The first is one of her swimming to the bottom of the pool to get rings. The second is quite funny. If you know Caroline, you know she was terrified to put her head in the water, jump in, etc. So this is the first time Caroline jumped to Mrs. Jessica. Please know she was perfectly fine after this happened. She continued swimming and was laughing when she came up. And for the record, we did teach her how to properly jump.
