Just Another Saturday

This Saturday began as most Saturdays do, with the dream of staying in bed longer than you are able to. But we had to get up and get ready for SWIM LESSONS!!! Sophia had another great time. She even went underwater! Babies have a reflex that if you blow at their face and mouth they will hold their breath and then you "dunk" them. I have to tell you, when the instructor was explaining this to me, I had some moments of panic. Scenes of me on the side of the pool giving Sophia mouth to mouth were just some of them. But, none of that happened. The reflex worked (just as the instructor said it would) and Sophia did great. Most of this lesson involved Sophia trying to drink as much pool water as possible. Jean Paul made the observation that she may be part terrier and I believe he may be right. Either way, she is adorable. Hopefully all that chlorine she ingested can help kill off some of her lingering cold virus. Who knows?
After swim lessons, Sophia and her Daddy settled in for a long nap. Two hours to be exact. How come she never does that for me? After she awoke from her nap, she let us know that she had learned a new "word". What was the word of the day? "PaPa". I have no idea where she got that from. Sometimes she says it when she looks at Cory, but mostly she just babbles it. So her words now consist of "BaBa", "MaMa", "PaPa', and "MmmBa". Don't know what the last one means, but I like it.
Here are some pictures from Saturday, the video is coming soon.

After I took the previous picture, I turned the camera off and Sophia started crying. That usually means she wants another picture taken. This is the result. What a ham!!
