Babies float - who knew?

My family's Christmas party was this past weekend and Corbyn and I decided that 3 weeks is the perfect time to introduce Rhian to swimming. Sh
e seemed to LOVE it. She got all stiff when we first put her in the water, but quickly relaxed and just hung out. And really seemed to love it... she was so relaxed that she was actually doing the back float. (We supported her head - she has such 
a big brain, it always seemed to want to sink, but the rest of her just totally floated.) Here are some pics.
When we first put her in the water, her arms and legs flailed a bit and she sure got all stiff. (Notice the claws...)

You can't really see very well in the picture, but Corbyn is only holding her head... the rest of her is all floating. 

The water was a little cold for her in the pool, if you can't tell. She pulled some pretty funny faces.


She relaxed a lot easier in the hot tub.



Corbyn dunked her a couple times... Rhian is either going to love water or be terrified of it. But she actually didn't seem to mind it at all. OK, so the picture above is a little freaky. If you click on it, you can see an eye under the water.
