Norah finished up her swim lessons a couple of weeks ago, and as predicted, she enjoyed them immensely. While she didn't really grasp the idea of swimming forward while horizontal in the water, she did love jumping fearlessly into the water, and holding her breath for 7-8 seconds at a time. Each time she came up out of the water, it took less than a second for her to say "again!" Looks like she is a genuine waterbaby. Most notably, her affinity for water slides only grew more and more as the days got hotter and hotter, as she worked her way up from little dinkly slides to awesome tunnel slides and corkscrew slides. I would say she lost her "amateur" water sliding status somewhere around August 1.
Norah has become even more social and fond of talking over the past three months. She loves playing with her friends, racing her fire truck ("tire tuck") around the house and up and down the driveway, talking to the stuffed animals in her crib and all around the house, playing with Play "D'oh!", hugging and kissing Bram and Lucy, getting airplane rides on Daddy's feet, having Mama read to her, and getting and giving tickles relentlessly.
It has been a great summer. Better than we ever could have imaged. The long Fall is creeping this way, but I know Norah is looking forward it. After all, she gets to see all of her friends at Mother's Day Out again in two weeks, and hopefully it won't be too long before she will actually be able to play outdoors after naptime.
Keep a look out for this cute face coming your way again soon!
