To Become a Fish

This year Emmy has really begun to love the water. Actually she has always liked it but we have noticed how much stronger and less afraid she is now. She swims all over the place and has graduated to jumping off the diving board and swimming right to the side of the deep end. Of course she still isn't allowed to be in the pool without an adult present at all times but I love seeing her begin to be so comfortable in the water. All this is without formal lessons.

Knees tucked and off she goes

Splash!

Up and out for another jump

How strange...time goes by so fast! I swear it wasn't long ago when I was coaxing her into putting just her mouth in the water to blow bubbles... sweet girl! She's getting too big for me!
