Just Swimmingly.

This adorable suit was given to us by my sister-from-another-mister....'s grandma. 

(Without the ellipsis, it looks like she is my sister from another man's grandma, and that's weird.)

Anyway.

She gave this to us when our little monkey was just born. 

At the time, it seemed like it would be forever before she wore it. 

Now, she's 6 months old and fitting into a 9-month suit.

It was a 2-man operation getting her into it...

Like stuffing a VHS into a DVD player.

But it sure looks cute, right?

All ready to jump in with Daddy.

High five, Funcle! 

(funcle = faux+uncle. I'm hoping to make that catch on. It would be totally rufus.)

The water was cold, so she dipped in a little at a time. 

(Apparently I didn't get any actual photos of the swimming - just videos.)

E absolutely loved it. She kicked her legs and flailed her arms like an ol' pro.

We also enjoyed our time with E's buddy, our godbaby.

It started off as a hug...

And the girls did a mini fashion show:

Ever so stylish.

Shout out to Tom Cruise (a la Top Gun).

In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by her trade.

I am leaving. I am leaving.
But the fighter still remains.
