~Its HUMP Day~

                 

Isn't she just the cutest?  I know I've possibly posted this picture before, but it fits the context of my entry to the "T".

My daughter is going to be the next swim star to hit the Olympics, some many years down the road.  She is very much enjoying her new found talent of swimming with out her water wings.  I can practically see how proud of herself that she is when she comes up from the water!

Last night, she was going really deep in the water.  Probably to my mid-thigh (it is about 4ft deep in the shallow end) and then coming up with the biggest smile!  All together, I think she was swimming about 10ft from the step where she'd "push off" to myself or Derek.  She is sure perfecting her swim.  We were also trying to get her to come up for air in our "practing" yesterday evening.  She just holds her breath the whole time she is under water.  And we were trying to get her to realize that she needs to come up for air, that way she can keep on swimming!

She was a little hesitant.  I think her swimming on her own right now is hard enough... Poor thing needs to take it one step at a time!!

But goodness, am I proud of that Little Girl.

Yesterday I began my first day of swimming.  I was originally going to do about 40 or so laps, but I ended up doing 70.  I actually at 50 decided that I wanted to do about 100 or so, but Miss Rowan came out, so I had to stop.

It felt good though.  And boy, did I sleep good.  My muscles are a little sore, but hey, its all worth it in the end right?  :o)  I'm going to get in the pool again tonight... Hmm, how many laps shall I do??

Lets see, lets see, what else can I ramble on about??.

Oh yes!  My Little Man is cutting his first tooth, or I believe he possibly is.  The poor guy just hasn't been himself.  Kinda cranky... Way more drewly than he normally is and everything is going into his mouth to be chewed on.  He also has a runny nose and has a little white spot on his bottom gum... He is only 4 months old... Miss Ro didn't get her first tooth until she was 8mons old!!  I guess my little guy is just Gung-Ho on life and he just wants to get started... haha.

He is also almost all the way over, rolling over that is.  I think in the next week or so he'll figure it out.  He hasn't been wanting to be on his back lately- because he has been so cranky- so I'm thinking this weekend will have some special Back Time and Tummy Time!!  Whenever we put him on his tummy now, he holds himself up really well and tries to scoot around!!  What a strong boy he is :D

I'm feeling like crap you guys.  Ever since yesterday morning, I've had this scratchy throat, stuffy nose and a foggy head.  I thought it could have been from all the stress/lack of sleep from the 4th, but it is getting worse!  Me no likey... Mama is even not feeling great... Which isn't good for a couple of reasons.  One, because she is the 'babysitter' and Two, because with more than one person in the house sick, the more likely others will get sick too!!

Ugh, no fun!!

Well ya'll, I gots to run.  Many things to do today... Hope you all enjoy the Hump Day!!
