Water Baby!

We knew she loved the water! We took Luka swimming for the first time last Saturday. They have an "Aqua-Tot" class taught by a hysterical old lady in a old skool swim cap, with a sing song voice. Luka could not stop laughing at he

r (or me!). We sang lots of songs like; The Wheels on the Bus, I'm a little Tea Pot and others. They all had movements to them that help get the kids used to doing things 

in the water, feeling the movement of the water on their skin, or blowing bubbles, etc. It was a blast. Luka was never nervous. She and I walked right into the water like she had done it a million times. She was VERY excited to see other children there, too. We WILL be headed back soon. 

Check out her face here! She's laughing at the teacher!

The pictures are terrible, but they were all we could manage with Dan's camera phone. We've left our battery charger somewhere. Imagine that?! A dead battery and a cute kid. It's an atrocity. 

In other news my lap top is back up and running after my hard drive CRASHED! So, hopefully it won't be so long before I post again.

We are on the mend now after having a yucky bout with the flu. Luka caught it first and was sick most of Sunday. Having a lethargic, grey skinned, barfy 8.5 month old has got to be the saddest experience we have had as new parents. I know that that experience pales in comparison to the things we have seen our friends go through, and probably will pale in comparison to something down the road, but Dan and I certainly felt so helpless. Monday afternoon I came down with it on the way to work, and then Dan played follow the leader and got sick that evening. We spent yesterday napping a lot, and hanging out, and taking it easy - there was not much food involved.
