Abby's Swim Class

We signed Abigail up for swim classes at 11 months, and I was sooo excited, since I LOVE to swim and was hoping she would too. Unfortunately the first class didn't go so well, she was overwhelmed with all the water (especially since we still have to bathe her in a baby tub) and was nervous, clingy, and kept waving to Nate, who was watching, to come get her.
The second class started out the same, and I began wondering if maybe it was too soon for her or she just wouldn't be much of a swimming fan, but at the very end of that class she seemed to suddenly think it was kinda fun. From the third class on (there were 8), she LOVED it, was kicking, splashing, and basically "crawling" as fast as she could in the water, trying to get where she wanted to go, with grunts and looks at me saying "let me go now, Mom, I got it!" It was so fun, and I was sad to see it end. Luckily Mom and Nate were able to be there for her last class. The pics below are from her first and last classes:

Her last class, all smiles- she couldn't wait to get in the water

All wrapped up with two of her biggest fans :)
