Nothing better than being like the big girls

Gwen LOVES the water. Her favorite thing is to go swimming. She will play in the water all day and never get tired of it, and pretty much always has a hard time when it is time to leave the pool, lake, whatever. As of today, Gwen can swim all by herself! (with puffers on of course) We were walking down the stairs into the pool, she stepped right off the last step and I realized she wasn't swallowing any water, so I watched to see how far she could go on her own. She swam about 10 feet, she could maneuver any direction she wanted, and then she swam to a ladder and climbed out on the ladder all by herself too! I didn't have to touch her once! She repeated this cycle over and over and over again the whole time we swam, about 2 hours! She was thrilled, she felt so big, and Liv and I were very proud of the little munchkin.

what a sassy little girl in her glasses!
I can't believe she is a little dare devil in the water! How great that she can swim around with her little floaties on! :)

Don't you just love summer? And to me Gwen is totally channeling Brad looking cool in her sunglasses!
