I am adjusting to life in a new town as a new mom- nothing like giving birth and moving across the country in a two-week span to teach you what chaos really means!

Our Little Shrimp!

Hannah has graduated from her first swim class. She's officially a shrimp (tell us something we didn't know...). As far as we can tell, the only thing you have to do as a shrimp is tough out half an hour in a REALLY COLD pool once a week. Here are some moments from our last class, courtesy of her 'Madison grandparents,' who cheerfully assumed paparazzi duty:

Getting in the pool. Did I mention it was a little chilly? Great if you're swimming laps, I'm sure...


Teaching Hannah to blow bubbles. She just wondered what the heck mom was doing.

Back floating! Hannah is a champion kicker.


Playing 'Motorboat, Motorboat' with the class.

Doing the Hokey-Pokey.

Time with Daddy!!!

"Um, it's really cold in here, can I get out yet?"


Teething noodle?

Practicing reaching for things, which supposedly translates into learning the crawl stroke?

Hannah in her otter pose.

Flying high! This might be her favorite thing, ever.

Our happy (chilly) family.

Good that you are getting her into swimming early. Maybe she will be another Kaleb, who was jumping in and swimming by 18 months. We still get stares with him. I wish your water was warmer, though.
