Mommy and Me!

Today Izzie and I started our first swimming class together! I've been wanting to do a mommy and me class, but our summer schedule was looking kind of hectic with the new biz and all the traveling we'll be doing. Looking at the class schedules, I realized we'd miss a bunch of classes, so I decided I would wait until next year. I figured Iz wouldn't remember anything this year anyway. And then my mom pointed out that since Izzie wouldn't remember, I might as well go for it and just miss a few classes. So, we signed up at the rec center by our house! It ends up that we only miss 2 classes, and after today, I'm so glad we went for it. Izzie LOVED our little class and had a great time swimming. I think she's going to be a little fish, just like her dad!

Floating around the lazy river on her tummy!

More floating. She was totally kicking her legs and using her arms, even though you can't tell.

Here I'm trying to teach her how to blow bubbles in the water. I think she was a little distracted by her daddy taking her picture!

Now we're trying a back float in the lazy river. She was a little nervous to do this at first.

But then she relaxed and totally loved it. Isn't she sooooo cute!?? 

Big Girl!

Izzie is now 9 months! My how time flies, seriously! We went to the doc and all is looking well. Here are her stats this time around:

Weight: 20 pounds 4 ounces, 75th percentile
Height: 28 inches, 66th percentile
Head: 83rd percentile

Our little bug has learned so much over the last few months. She can now feed herself, move around all over the floor to get to her toys, pull herself up to her knees, stand by the couch (for a few seconds anyway), and wave bye-bye! Here are just a couple cute pics of her. :)
