ISR Swim Videos

I finally got the videos to upload. These are the videos from today. He actually turned on his own for the first time.... that's what we want him to do. He got a little confused and couldn't decide which way he wanted to roll. He wants to roll the opposite way of what the instructor was trying to get him to roll. Next week, we'll work on him turning on the side he likes, that way it will become more of a habit. As you can tell, he still doesn't like it. He's really not crying tears.. Obviously, it just makes him mad. We have two weeks left and I'm hoping by then he will stop crying!

Swim Lessons

I mentioned earlier that Campbell is taking ISR swim lessons... He still doesn't like going. I don't think he HATES it like he did, therefore we are making progress. He didn't cry Friday when we pulled into the parking lot... that's major progress. He didn't cry when I handed him to the instructor.. so maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. He does whine the entire lesson, but I can handle that if it saves his life one day! The first lesson we both cried... I'm emotional anyway. He looked at me and gave me the sign for "please"... then reached for me. It tore me up. TORE. ME. UP! He has only had 10 lessons. We missed 4 days while we were at the beach. All the other kids have had 15 lessons, so we are a little behind. He is doing awesome though! Saturday was the first day he would even get near a pool since the lessons started. The first few days of lessons I was running around the pool holding him by his shirt to keep him from jumping in. Now, he just sits in my lap with his hands behind his head. We will started our third week Monday. I tried to upload a movie, but I haven't gotten that technical yet. I'll keep trying. I also have some pictures of him in the water, but I haven't uploaded those yet either. The speedo pic will have to do for now!

Baby's Kickin'

Yesterday Mom and I ventured to Baby's Kickin'. It's a 3D/4D ultrasound clinic. It was so neat to watch Baby Girl on a big screen T.V.! She was very active. I can already tell she looks like her older brother! She definitely has my nose. Looks like she has her Daddy's upper lip.

After the sonogram I headed over to see the Dr. Everything looks great. I haven't gained near as much weight with this one as I did with Campbell! Thank Goodness! I think I could have walked on at Mississippi State to play football! I guess chasing a (almost) 18 month old helps burn off those fried chicken calories! Baby is sitting comfortably in the transverse position. If she hasn't moved to the head down position by next visit the doc will try and turn her... from what I hear, it's kinda painful... can't be any worse than kidney stones! If she won't turn we may be looking at a section... which I really don't want to endure! I go back to the Dr. in two weeks and then it's every week! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has flown by..

Already smiling for the camera!

Her eyes are cracked here and she is starting to stick out her tongue.

She is making her "mean face" and sticking out her tongue.. eyes are cracked a little here too!

Beach Trip Two

Here are a few pics from our second beach trip. There wasn't any oil on the beach when we left, but it was getting close. There were a few tar balls spotted in Destin while we were there, but nothing in Sandestin. We had a lot of fun watching Campbell do his own thing on the beach. He still hated the pool and wouldn't go near the pool gate. I'm glad to be home. I have been out of town the past four weekends (Thursday- Monday) and I'm ready to clean house and relax.

I'm pretty sure he was checking out the older girls here.

Beach Trip One

This past weekend Campbell and I took a trip to the beach with my family. We had a lot of fun. Although Campbell wouldn't set foot near the pool... bummer. He started taking ISR swim lessons last week and I guess he thought I was going to dunk him. I'll post on the lessons later... All you need to know right now is he HATES them.. It took him two days before he would even put his feet in the ocean. He entertains himself very well, all I had to do was dig a hole and fill it with water and he was occupied for awhile. Sorry the video above is sideways. Trust me, it's worth the head turn to watch it. He is rather full of himself these days. Have you heard me say that one before? Below are a few pictures that we took on the beach one afternoon. My camera battery died after about 20 pics. We are packing up and heading back to Destin this weekend, I'll take some more then!
