Future Olympic swimming star?

Genna's been taking swim lessons for the past 2 weeks. She's done great learning to swim! We had some whiney (is that a word?) days, but the important thing is that she learned a lot. At this age, they don't focus on form or technique, just in learning to save themselves if they were to fall into the pool.
This first video is of her sliding down the slide, then swimming to the ladder. The second is of her swimming across the width of the pool! It seems to take forever, so just know ahead of time that she does make it!!!
Please ignore my photography :-) At the end, I forgot to stop the videoing before I put the camera down to clap, so there is a nice view of the sky.







This is what Andrew did while we watched the swimming...his bad Mama forgot to bring him a hat, so we had to improvise with Daddy's.

First portraits

We went to Portrait Innovations this morning to attempt to get a good picture of Genna and Andrew together as well as 3 year old pictures for Genna. I have to give the photographers credit...I don't know how they even got these 3!!! Genna was less than cooperative, but at least we did get one good one of her and one of them together which is what the goal was.

The last few weeks

Andrew is 4 weeks old today! And, I know, the last pictures I posted were 2 weeks ago...I've been a bad blogger! Anyway, here are some pictures from the last 2 weeks. More to come on Mother's Day and our first trip away from home later this week.

Big sister Genna loves to talk to her baby brother...
Andrew's first REAL bath. I think he liked it! I'm not sure he still does, but he did that time.


until he had to get out...


All wrapped up tight and secure...


3 weeks old...Do you think he likes his new toy???





All clean in his new robe from Miss Leanne.


Genna has been really good with Andrew. She loves to hold him, but so far has not tried to pick him up by herself. It's funny to hear her repeat things that I say to him, trying to comfort him. Brian asked her several days ago, "Genna, how do you make him stop crying?" She replied in a very exasperated tone, "Daddy, he just want his passy."
He really is a good baby, especially when all of his needs have been met.
