Kinsey Bear Out and About - Gymnastics

Kinsey's friend Addie takes gymnastics in town and they are allowed to bring a friend to one class so Kinsey went with her yesterday. They broke the class up and Addie went to a different group but Kinsey still had a lot of fun!
Stretching to "Mickey Mousekersize" 
 They carried around carpet squares and when it wasn't their turn or when they needed to listen to directions, that is where they sat. It really worked to keep the kids from running a muck!
 On the bar (I have no idea what the terms are)
 She stayed like this for so long that the teacher had to tell her it was ok to let go :)
 Teaching her how to flip on the rings
 Getting ready
 Woo!
 Uneven bars
 The teachers were big on hands up before and after you roll!
She wanted to take ballet next month and now I think we'll have to do gymnastics too!

Cohen is 8 months old

Time is flying by! Cohen is eight months old and, not surprising, way more active than Kinsey was at his age! He refuses to sit and if you try to make him, he immediately crawls away. He is a pulling up machine but gets mad because he can't figure out how to get back down. We won't have a visit until next month but it's safe to say he's growing a lot! He eats like crazy, gets mad when he hears the spoon scraping the bottom of the container and he is in 9 month clothes now! We love our little man!
 He was really excited about the flash this time :)
 Big boy climbing on things
 Chowing down
When I went in to get him after a nap, this is how I found my happy boy! We moved the mattress down but might have to put it on the bottom setting.
 Laughing at Daddy

 Love him!
Sissy wanted to wear the red sticker and be in a picture with "the Buds"

Kinsey Bear Out and About - Swim Lessons

Kinsey started swim lessons in July and we were excited to get her into a class of some kind before Pre-K. She was the most timid one in the class but she was also the only first time kiddo. She usually did really well listening to Miss Tiffany and doing what she said but she did not want to put her face in the water! Since the 2 week class ended we've been working with her at the neighborhood pool and she's not afraid to put her face in anymore!

 Getting ready for the first class



 "Rainbow Pulls"

 They ended every class taking turns jumping in the pool but I missed a picture of her first jump
 Another day of class
 Getting ready to jump
 She loved jumping!
