Proud Mama

Hi friends, it's mami here again. I read that Mia shared with you about her adventures in Belize and her new love for swimming but I would also like to share how proud we are of our little bug! After a couple of rather intimidating swimming experiences in her younger months, Mia appeared to be rather timid around water. We could see that she was interested in it, always standing alongside batting at the waves, but needed some time to figure out her tactics!

One really hot afternoon the 3 of us were walking down the beach with Mia decided it was time. At first she entered and just swam a few feet before turning back around to the safety of shore. A little while later though, she took off on her own beelining for a buoy that was way out at sea. Papi & I were both a bit worried that she may be turn around, so papi dropped his bag, and went in after her. It turned out that she was just fine and didn't need his help at all though!

I suppose it just took a little curiosity and a whole lot of heat {our girl really panted a lot in Belize} to get her in the water, but now our little bug is quite a fish!

{And don't worry Mims, we'll make sure we find our way back to a good swimming beach again soon. You and your mami share the same love of the water!}

Check out her progress throughout the week:
