Swim Lessons

This summer we paid for private swim lessons for Annabelle at her friend Carter's house. She was able to get one on one lessons and she learned a lot. We are so proud of her! Getting the rings with her swim teacher. The first couple lessons she cried the whole time and wouldn't let go of her teacher.

Blowing bubbles

Floating on her back. Her teacher said she floated by herself for a few seconds a couple times but she quickly realized it and tried to sit up.

Talking to her teacher, she loves to talk!

Just Belle

Annabelle has been coloring a lot lately and has been getting pretty good. She worked on this for a good 20 minutes. She also likes to draw, she has been drawing happy faces and she also drew a picture and when she was done she told me it was a big boat and Jonah in the water and a big fish that was going to eat Jonah. And the picture actually did look like a boat and a small thing in water and then a big circle looking thing in the water. She also drew a tea pot the other day and told me she made me tea. That drawing I don't think was intentional but she new what it looked like after she finished.

Annabelle saw the camera on the table one afternoon while she was eating lunch and she told me "look mom, I'm cute! Do you want to take my picture?" How could I say no?!

Waring my shoes in a t-shirt and panties, quite the fashion statement!

While I was on "restriction" from the doctor at the beginning of my pregnancy my family was so wonderful to come and help me with the girls and keep my house clean (Thanks so much guys!). This was one day when my Grandma came over and she took Miss Belle outside to play with chalk. She was covered from head to toe in chalk! But she had fun!

They were taking turns "painting" each others nails.

Isn't that just the sweetest, most colorfully chalking face!
