Memorial Day Weekend...and other stuff....

We spent last weekend at the lake...it was a gorgeous weekend.  We went on a couple of boat rides and Ella spent a lot of time in the water. She just finished up 16 swim lessons at the YMCA and she is much more confident in the water now!  Nonna had a great idea to get a small inflatable baby pool for Kinsley for on the dock...so she was able to splash in the water too!


Ella's last swim lesson.  She "graduated" from the "pike" level!

Oh yeah...did I mention that Kinsley started to crawl last weekend!

Papa, Ella, and Cali having fun in the water!

Cali and Ella swimming! Ella likes to "race" Cali!
Kinsley - 10 months old! She started crawling last weekend.  It is a strange version of a crawl where she uses one knee and one foot.  But she can get where she wants to go....Ella has already discovered that nothing is safe anymore!  She is also getting ready to cut her first tooth!  You can feel it but it hasn't quite broken through the gum yet.  If you remember...Ella did not get her first tooth until around 15 months so this is quite early in our book!!  Kinsley also waves bye-bye now and loves to babble....she continues to be very laid back and happy...smiling all the time!
