Swimming Lessons, Parties, and First Father’s Day

On Thursday Ava wrapped up her first session of swimming lessons. After 8 sessions in 2 weeks, she got her “report card” on how she progressed. She’s not (yet) Olympic material, but she does have fun in the water – and is even learning to jump in off the wall on the count of 3.

Ready to get in…

Swimming (and trying to drink the water)

Later Ava had her first popsicle for a little teething treat. Let’s just say that the enjoyed it – but it was certainly all over her.

Saturday we went to Mike and Sarah’s for a get together – everyone has kids in the under-a-year set. So of course we started the evening early and were home by 8 (so we could get Ava to bed). Ava had fun playing with Will, who is only 4 days older than Ava (but about 1.5 times her size).

Playing with Sofie’s activity mat and books…

Sunday was Scott’s first Father’s Day. Ava slept in (a little) and then we all went on a hike. We then went (minus Chase) to the pool to relax and cool off for a bit. Here she is playing in the afternoon…

 

Later this week we head to Minnesota for Mo’s brother’s wedding….and it will be nice to escape the heat of the desert.
