50th post!
... and it has only taken, oh about 8 months.
I thought I would share some videos and pictures of my little water baby. Until about a week and a half ago, Holland had sworn off anything that had to do with water. She was terrified of swimming pools and even baths! I believe this all started because on Father's Day, Joe was going to jump in the pool with Holland and he lifted her over the edge (she was wearing a suit with built in floats) and I think it just really scared her, like she was going to be thrown in and left or something. So, for about 2 weeks, our water-loving baby was in hiding, but I am so happy to report that she is back!
She now does not want out of the water. (which stinks because the water is now filled with green algae and we can't shock it till this evening..) She is totally content to just swim on her own, generally does not even want to be touched. And, she does great! She swims back and forth between Joe and I- swims to the ladder, etc. I need to take a better video of her new swimming skills, but for now I only have one very short one...
So, here is the said video. The first 5 seconds is how Holland generally acts in the pool. But, she got grumpy because she just wanted me to join her.
And, here is another video- it was taken on the downside of take two of filling up our pool. (Had to drain it twice, fill it three times...) Holland had such a great time just jumping and splashing around!
And just to make this 50th post even longer, I thought I would add some swimming pictures as well:
