Our Little Fish!

To kick off summer, Sloane had her first week of swim lessons at Murray Callan Swim School in Pacific Beach.  The same place her daddy learned to swim 30 years ago!  She has had so much fun at every lesson and LOVES going in the water!  She is a little water baby!  She even went under water for the first time and LOVED it!  She does great holding her breath and is so proud of herself when she's done!  Such a fun and rewarding experience for us all!

 All set for her first lesson!

 Slightly tentative...

 ...but once she was in the water (93 degrees) she was ALL smiles!

 Getting warmed up in the water with Daddy

 Meeting her swim teacher, Zach, for the first time...

 ...she loves him and he her...he says she is like butter in the water...calm...cool...collected...

 ..and FULL of smiles!

 Even taking a shower after swim lessons is fun!

 Here is Sloane's first time going under water!  She did awesome!

 Swim lessons are SOOOO fun!!

We LOVE our little fish!

Borrego Fun and Daddy's First Father's Day!

Over Father's Day weekend we headed out to Nonna and Pappa's beautiful house in Borrego for some fun in the sun and Father's Day celebrations!  We had lots of fun swimming in the pool, playing with grandparents and crawling all over the house!

All set for some pool time fun!

Playing in the pool with Grandpa!

 A day in the pool calls for some good, "clean" fun in the bath!

 Sloane loves to have the water poured over her head and is so proud of herself when it's finished!

 Check out my 2 teeth!  They came in at 8 months!

 A trip to the desert is never complete without some time spent shootin'!

 Tough guys

 Even Mommy got in on the action:

Happy Father's Day to the best Daddy in the whole world... 

...and the best Grandpa and Pappa a girl could ask for!

Daddy date night!

Did I mention that this little lady is now 9 months old!! Where does the time go? 

Here are her 9 month pictures...which are very hard to get these days due to the fact that she is on the go and rarely stays put for very long!

Legoland!

Mommy takes her second graders to Legoland every year...and this year Daddy and Sloane came along for a visit!  We had so much fun looking at all the legos, kid-watching, and riding our first amusement park ride!

 Taking in the view of Mini-Manhattan after lunch!

 Sloane got to go to Lego class with Mommy's second graders and visit with Auntie Lisa!
