Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!  We had a great day today and hope everyone else did too.  Lots of love to Emma's Memere and Grandma!

We have been keeping busy around here as usual.  Last weekend, we participated in the March for Babies with my company to support the March of Dimes. Emma made some new friends and we had a nice walk in Stamford, CT - all for a great cause!


One of her new friends gave her a hat! 


This week, Emma and I took a walk to the nearby park and had some fun.  





And today, Emma had her first swimming lesson!  She and Dad splashed around for half an hour in a Swim Tots group at a local gym.  There were 8 tots there with their parents, and it was a lot of fun!  


They had a few toys to play with, and did some group songs, but mostly everyone could swim around and do what they wanted.  


Emma practiced jumping in...

 

doing the backstroke and floating...



kick kick kicking...



blowing bubbles...


And the doggy paddle!





Matt did a great job with her (as always) and Emma had a blast.  The water was a lot colder than the bathwater that she's used to, so she was a little chilly by the end, but I think she still had a good time.  Can't wait for next week!


Other than that, we had a pretty quiet day since I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday.  We made a lot of jell-o, so I decided to share with Emma.  Anyone remember jell-o jigglers?  :)  


Emma had no idea what I was talking about.  
(And she had some crazy hair after the dip in the pool.)  





Needless to say, she was not a fan of the jell-o, but that's ok.  Good thing she's cute!  ;)
