We have a floater!

Now, normally this title when referencing an infant, would refer to an unfortunate bath incident...but not this time! Delanah has graduated from the first stage of ISR...my girl can float! She was going through the scenarios today like they were nothing! I was so comfortable that her instructor and I were sharing "war stories" about mozzie bites :p Delanah loves floating! As soon as she was allowed to float, there were smiles, raspberry blowing, splashing, she's just too funny! Cindy, her instructor, commented on how social Delanah is; she has to see who is coming and going. I am SO proud of her!!!!! We will go back in Feb/March to start round #2 of lessons; this time it will will float, swim, float...woo-hoo! After her lesson, as she was supposed to be relaxing poolside, she scooted towards the edge of the pool and was trying to put her hand in, she wanted to play some more! Yes, we are creating a water baby :)
This morning Delanah and I, along with 18 other babies and moms, went to a baby sign language seminar/introductory class. It was such fun! It was so loud! One baby would start babbling and then all would join in. At one point all the moms were singing and signing a song and it was amazing, at almost the same time, all the babies got quiet! Too funny. I was feeling a little self conscious though...all the other babies, even the ones younger than Delanah, were crawling all over the place, and some were even walking! Delanah is not doing any of that. Another mom commented that she was quite the observer, and she is. She sat, very quietly, for about 15min just studying all the other babies and then she began interacting with the babies near her and towards the end of the 45min class she even launched herself onto her stomach to get a ball she had her eye on...my little sweet pea :) I know she will walk and crawl in her own time. And I am pretty sure she eats better than the other babies there, can float better and even uses a little toilet now! So many things to be proud of.
One more new skill she learned today...during afternoon nap she managed to get her diaper off! Little toot! Guess I am going to have to repair the velcro ASAP...unless I want an unfortunate nap session in the near future :)
