Swimming!!

We took Madelyn swimming at the Maple Grove Community Center last Monday.  The last time she went swimming she was only 5 months old.  At first she was very cautious and wasn't very comfortable at all.  She held onto mommy & daddy for dear life!

We started in the zero depth part of the pool and later moved to the deeper part.  She did better & better the longer we were in the water.  She even started splashing a little bit.  She saw another baby, around her age/size, walking in the water so I think that made Madelyn feel like she could try it.

There was a kids slide in the pool and by the end Madelyn was brave enough to walk in the zero depth part of the pool and wanted to go down the slide!  She started walking over to the slide and climbing up the steps.  She had a blast and we can't wait to go back!  

 

All ready to go swimming

Walking in the water by myself is so fun

Now I'm ready to tackle the slide

Here I go!

Such a big girl!
