* Safety First *

A few months ago, it was brought up to our attention the importance of the girls learning to swim at an early age.

Specially since we do live in Florida, and pool's and beach access are right there for us.

And the girls....simply love playing in the water...they are water babies.
We found out about this great course on water safety for babies as young as 6 months.

They teach them to float, and turn from their belly to back to float, and to turn around to grab on to a wall.

The course, it's an intense 6 weeks, only 10 minutes per day. And some what stressful as not all babies manage to relax, and cry the entire 6 weeks....poor coaches....yes....just look at the look on Jamie's face after having both girls crying for the 6 weeks. They did relax on the last 2 days...Lol !

They learn to float in summer clothe and winter clothe, teaching them what to do in the case that they fell in the water in summer or winter.

On the last day of class, parent's get to go in the water, and do all the exercises with the babies.

And it's a lot harder than it looks...as you see your little baby floating, you just want to hold them....

Both Erwing and I had a hard time with letting them float on their own. We were both so proud to see them do it without our assistance.

We are happy to share that girls have now graduated, and we are so happy to have sign them up for such a great class....

We will still keep a very close eye on the girls, at all times when around pools, beach and bathtubs.

We believe in safety first, and we highly recommend this class to everyone.

Our Monkey's !

Everyday we find out self's very much amazed by the curiosity the girls have for life...it's so cute every milestone....it's impossible to keep up with all the milestones this days, as there are more and more....
We find our self's laughing and joking about "our little preemie babies, so fragile..." Yet have come a far along away from our preemie days....they are more like "Little Monkeys"


They seem to master the "Art" of "Climbing" everywhere.....I mean everywhere...it's a bit scary, as the minute you turn around they are in top of a table, chair or shelf !!!!

It's amazing how babies (toddlers) at this age, are not scare of anything, and how they want to explore the highest peaks !!! Lol....

Every time, I catch the girls in top of something, they have this great smile, and a sence of peacefulness....in the meantime, while I calmly take the picture..I'm freaking out, and think the worse case scenerio "My little baby can fall and hurt them selfs so badly" At the same time I want so bad to say to them " Good Girls ! Good job " as I'm so proud of them.....

Needless to say, we continue to move and remove the "peaks" from our home...the white shelf that you see Lunamia getting in top of and seating like if it was nothing, has been put away in a closet...and the chair that Leahsofia has manage to climb, (along with the other 3) have also been put away, and we take them out on a need basis only) We also had a Little Tykes Slide in their playroom, and it didn't last long as it only took them 2 days, to figure out how to get in top and dance in top of it....LOL....
