Swimming

This is truly impressive footage. At the beginning of the summer, Alette would not let go of me even in the shallow end. Seriously, I had bruises on my arms each time we went swimming. Then at some point I looked at the pool and there she was, happily playing around in the deep end, no parent needed. Am I proud? absolutely! Did I get a lump in my throat at the sight of my baby girl's independence? absolutely! Luckily Andy was there to reassure me that this is what we want for our kids.
