Things are going swimmingly

Yesterday, before Masters swim practice, Mom saw a woman getting out of the kiddie pool with a really little baby- like Hazel size.  So, she became inspired to take Hazel on her own swimming experience.  Alysha and Silas came too because everyone knows that pool parties are the best.  Hazel loved it- for about 15 minutes.  The kiddie pool is nice and warm for babies (and also heavily chlorinated, thank goodness).  Then she didn't love it and she joined Silas in a little scream session out on the pool deck.  That's okay- she did great for a 6-week-old baby!  We'll be back every week until Hazel is big enough for the baby swim class at about 3 months.

Hazel is probably more interested in the lights than the water, but she does seem to calm down in warm water.  She is the same way in the bathtub.

Silas went for a second round of swimming after filling his tummy.

What Hazel did when Silas went swimming again.

The best part of swimming might be being wrapped in lots of fresh-from-the-dryer warm towels.  And staring at more lights, of course.
