Sofie's first underwater dive

This week Sofie had her first underwater dive. She didn't seem to mind at all and dived three times! Check out the photos and video below.

As always the lesson started with a song and then we all got our babies used to the water by floating around on their bellies while we stayed low in the water and kept eye contact with them.










Sofie started falling asleep so a kiss from mum woke her up!














The next exercise is practiced to help babies get used to floating on their own. Each parent holds their baby with a hand around each thigh and a thumb firmly on the babies back. Then they both float around. This is quite a difficult exercise for Sofie as she can't fully hold her own head yet. But she did well.

A snapshot during the third dive. Note the open eyes and airbubbles our of her nose. What a diver!












This is Sofie after a dive with lots of water in her eyes - no wonder with the open eyes in the chlorinated water!
















Sofie was very pleased that her dad was with us!!




















After the lesson Sofie showed her dad how clever she now was at floating on her back.












Then it was time to go home. This is a funny photo of us under and over the water. Due to water distortion her legs look even chubbier!!!!!


















This weekend we also tested the pulling system for the Chariot which we are going to use with skies on our New Year vacation in Norway. It works great and Sofie loved the rocking!
