Swimming Season is Coming - Daddy is Home

Swimming Gear

You are going to start swimming lessons. I had no idea you could do that so early but I am excited. Since we have a pool I would like you to learn how to swim correctly and safely. We went and bought you a swim suit yesterday. Oh my wow! You are so cute. It makes me smile to just think about it.

The classes are at the YMCA and both Momma and Daddy will be there. They say it is more of a way  to get you comfortable with the water and then you progress to the next level, etc. I know you love the water already because of bath time. You could sit in the water for an hour and it not phase you. That Eddi is your Daddy in you. Momma likes the weather to be HOT and the water to be warm.... so when bath water gets a little chilly I get out. You and your Daddy would stay in no matter what.

Now the best news of the week - YOUR DADDY IS HOME FROM DEPLOYMENT!!! He was a little upset because he went to get you when you woke up (he got in around 11pm) and you were so upset because you weren't sure who he was. It broke my heart for him. Thankfully by the morning you were thrilled to see him. I know nighttime everything is hard to see.

Seeing you and your Daddy together makes my heart burst. He loves you so much it is so evident on his face when he looks at you; and when you look at him your eyes light up like it is Christmas morning. It is beautiful. He has wanted to hold you, rock you to sleep, play with you, etc. all the time since he has been back. He keeps telling me how much you have grown and changed. I honestly don't see that much of a change but I am with you 24/7. For that reason, I have to wrap my head around the fact he was unable to be with you for 3 weeks and only able to SKYPE about six days. I could not even begin to imagine being away from you and him with those circumstances. Thankfully photos were exchanged repeatedly.

Well my sweet Eddi Bear - I am going to sign off. In two days you are 6 months old. Time is flying by and with each day I am more and more blessed to be your Momma. I love you so much.
