We had a great day yesterday.  Swimming was wonderful.  She smiled and seemed happy when I said we were going swimming.  That was nice.  She had the hiccoughs, but she didn't want to nurse.  She wanted to look around, especially at the kids having fun.  We got there early and got in the pool at the other end from the earlier class.  We sat on the love seat at first. Then I held her facing me on her belly.  I walked backward so she could feel the water flowing.  She practiced her new skill, splashing.  We did that until class started.  Kellen was there as well as two older kids.  She did very well, but a couple of times she wanted to hold onto mommy.  Since we'd had a half hour of pool time before class started, I didn't feel like we were wasting precious class time.  I thought she needed to relax so I had her float on her back.  She relaxed and looked at me while I sung our lullaby.  I think she was close to going to sleep.  She also sucked her thumb some of the time.  I heard one of the older kid's mom say, "See, the little baby can float." 

She is such a good age now.  She has some mobility, but she is still super cuddly.  Her lead levels were within normal.  Speaking of mobility, a couple of weeks ago I mentioned to Scotland I was looking forward to putting the bells on her shoes.  He said, "You aren't putting bells on my kid."  I didn't get a chance to ask why.  Then later when I asked, he just didn't like the idea of them while she was still crawling, while walking was fine.  Last night, she was crawling all over the house, and Scotland said, "Maybe she needs those bells now."
