Swimming on Sundays

Our winter routine has settled into regularly scheduled swimming sessions for Dad and Brooke on Sundays.  For awhile, Dad would take both girls to the gym, where he'd get his run in then go swimming with Brooke, while Mom stayed home to enjoy some peace & quiet by herself and read the paper (or wash dishes, or clean up toys, or take a shower, etc...). 

Recently Mom headed to the gym to check out the swimming progress, as I'm hearing the stories of Brooke's success.  While this is great, I'm secretly fearing Dad  is going to take away the life vest and make Brooke swim laps on her own next month.

Our dolphin very much enjoys going to the "cool".  *Don't know why she can't/won't say pool, she has no trouble say Pooh (like Winnie the Pooh...or I guess Poo, as in potty training).

Keira's 9 Months Old

Boy, these 9 months have flown by!  Our little "crawling, trying-to-stand, ear piercing screeching-at-the-top of her lungs" girl had her 9 month well check and she's growing at nearly the same rate as her big sister.  Good thing so the seasons of clothing and sizes match up well!

Weight: 17lbs 1oz  (25 percentile)

Height: 27 3/4" (60 percentile)

Head: 44 cm (50 percentile)

Brooke was 17lbs 4oz and 27 1/4" at her 9 month.
