Swimming, Gym and Music Class

Since you were 7 months old you start attending swimming and gym classes, you like both but definitely love swimming class, every week you learn something new, the very first was to go under water, since you were just a little baby I was so afraid! But surprisingly you knew how to hold the air in the water and came out with a big smile :) you starting jumping (siting down) from the side of the pool by your self on the count of three, holding on the side of the pool, then going all around holding of the side of the pool, when you started standing up you jumped all by you self, also when you are underwater you kinda swim to my direction, you love moving your feet and hands while I hold you.

The real challenge for me is to give you a shower when the class is over!!! I hope you can walk soon so you can help me! lol

Your dad goes to see you every month when there's open class, he take hundreds of pictures (no kidding) here are some..

Trying To Walk

So you are 1 year old right now and all over the house! crawling and reaching things, you stand up holding on something and you always want us to walk you arround the house and the patio just holding our fingers, you still afraid and don't wanna walk by your self, when we try to let your hands go you'll sit down right the way! so funny...

You love to play with your toys, watch baby tv, eat, play with your Ipad (used to be your dad's), sleep a small nap, crawl, walk (with help) but mostly try to go upstairs!!!! lol

I love you my princess...

1st Food

Hello princess, You are sleeping right now, after several feedings last night, you finaly fell into a deep sleep. I'm going to take advantage and post about some of the amazing things you are learning.

About a month ago we starting giving you solids! Your first solid was carrot, which you hated! just as any other veggie or fruit we tried. The one you hate the most is squash lol. You really need to start eating baby but I guess you are not ready yet.

Its so funny when you see the spoon coming you start shaking your head side to side! and closing your mouth, how do you know that moving your head in that direction means NO? you are super smart :)

Hola princesa, después de tantas veces que comiste anoche finalmente estas durmiendo profundamente, aprovechare para escribir sobre las cosas sorprendentes que has estado aprendiendo.

Hace aproximadamente un mes empezamos a darte sólidos. Tu primera comida fue zanahoria, la cual no te gusto para nada! así como cualquier vegetal o fruta que tratamos de darte, lo que menos te ha gustado es calabaza (lo cual entiendo por que a mi tampoco me gusta jaja) ya necesitas empezar a comer pero supongo que aun no estas lista...

Es tan chistoso cuando vez la cuchara acercándose a ti empiezas a mover la cabeza de un lado para el otro, cerrando la boca, como sabes que moviendo la cabeza asi significa que NO? que lista eres :)
