Swimming 2/6/10

On Saturday morning we took Kerriann swimming for the first time.  A couple of our friends, Lisa and Matt, were telling us how they started taking their daughter, Sydney, at 8 weeks old, so we thought KA was way overdue!  There is a heated pool at the gym on base so we met up with our friends there.  Though the pool was heated, the air was still really cold.  So cold air mixed with a baby who hadn't napped all morning didn't make for a happy girl.  We could tell she was TRYING to have fun, but she was shaking she was so cold, poor thing!  We tried borrowing Sydney's little shirt to act as a wet suit but it wasn't much help.  Matt used to be a swim instructor and told us that if you blow in their face they will close their eyes and hold their breath so you can dunk them.  We gave it a try and she didn't mind at all... it was so cute!  Next time we go back we will have to get a video.  Below are a few pictures... KA's faces in them are priceless ;).
