Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

Apparently we have a little mermaid on our hands. Penelope had her first swim lessons at Duck and Dive, and she was glowing. I was surprised at how well she did the whole time, considering she hadn't had a morning nap before, and because I had heard a lot of kids cry the first time. She was smiling and chattering the whole time. Even when she went underwater, she handled it quite well.

Five months sounds very young to start swimming lessons, but it's really common in Australia for people to start their young babies doing swim lessons, since it's considered such an important life skill and people spend so much time at the beach. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this weekly activity with her for the next 10 weeks.
