Happy Saturday!

Lots of exciting news in the Burcusa household...

First, not only does Rose have her first tooth, but her second tooth (also on the bottom) broke through yesterday. So cool! (Although, unfortunately, I still can't get a clear photo of them!)

Second, while I was taking a rest this afternoon, Mike had Rose on her playmat while he was reading email on his phone. She started making an unhappy noise, so he looked up and she had apparently flipped from her back to her stomach! Rose rolled over!!! Too bad neither of us saw it happen, but hopefully she'll do it again soon so we can see it happen!

Third, Rose started swimming lessons today! She's such a water lover that we thought it would be a fun activity for her. (Mike called dibs on getting in the water with her, and I called dibs on taking the photos - as you will see, I was the proud parent taking an obscene number of pictures during the 30 minute class!) At first we were placed on the waitlist for the class because we had to get special permission to sign up (since she's not yet 5 months old), but earlier this week we got the good news that she was able to officially enroll!

Here Rose was checking out all the big kids during the lesson time before hers:


Then it was time to actually get in the water... apparently it was just a bit chilly:


Next the students practiced "paddling" in a circle:




Then they all got to swim on little paddleboards!


And they got to swim with water noodles!



Mike helped her do some "flying" in the water, even though that wasn't officially a part of the lesson plan  :)


And at the end of the class it was time for "Humpty Dumpty" to fall from the wall:


It was so much fun! I think we're all looking forward to her next class next weekend :)


Finally, Rose got me a Kindle Fire for my birthday. So I can finally get caught up on some TV/movie watching after she falls asleep in my arms while nursing!


Enjoy the rest of your weekend, everyone!
