A Day At The Pool

My Mom takes me to the pool at the YMCA. There are lots of kids there, and some moms, too. Check out the one sitting behind me in this picture. Look quick before she notices I am taking the picture...

She's got a couple older kids with her. I'll bet she's watching my every move. Not only am I the best looking chick in this pool, I am also the fastest swimmer. Check this pose out:

I have a great start. No other kid (or adult) gets a start off the blocks like I do. I also think that my cool swim goggles help out A LOT. Speaking of equipment, my speedsuit is a little baggy. Mom has got to work on that. I am not exactly bulky, ya know? I need something a little more form-fitting.

I'll try to take more pics of me in the pool soon. My mom says I'll be walking full-time soon.

To be honest with you, I think I do JUST FINE crawling. I get around pretty good.

See ya later. I am off to my next event...

You know how they say some kids are just naturals? Or maybe you have heard that athletes are born, not made? Meet the next queen of triathleticism (I just made that word up). I will be happy if she just makes the 2020 US Olympic Swim Team. I am not asking for miracles here.


She is eager to start training. She is modeling her apres-swim dress for us, as well as the latest in swim headgear.

You can see the dedication to her sport in her eyes. The steely-blue glare of a champion. Eye of the tiger.

Her mom is going to work on nutrition later. A taquito may not be the best post-workout meal, but it does have lots of protein (chicken).

Happy Slightly-Early-Birthday!!!

Cate is almost One Year Old!!!

We had a birthday party for her and Caroline on Saturday. Caroline had a BIG party on Friday with all her friends, but that's for another blog. This is Cate's blog, and we will tell you about Cate's first cake!

Well, she didn't really know what to do with it. As you can tell by the pictures, she is a fairly neat eater. I think we had to smear a little icing on her so you wouldn't think she was OCD or something.

Cate spent most of the day at the ice chest, just like her big sister Caroline did on HER first birthday! We have pictures to prove it! But Cate did get around to visit with everyone. Pretty much everyone was at our house for the celebration. Cates actual birthday is May 15, but we wanted to do it with Caroline, and we didn't want Caroline to have to wait two solid weeks!

Cate got lots of presents - clothes, toys, scooter things, blocks - you name it, she got it. Typical spoiled kid birthday. I am sure Mom will have even more for her on her actualy birthday too.

Not EXTREMELY excited right here... but she was pretty tired right about this time.

"What can I do to it?" She seems a little unsure.

This was about as bad as it got. She's a neat eater, what can we say?
