They inherited their Mommy's love of water

Bath time for Nate and Chloe!




Somewhere along the way, they started enjoying their baths. They would just kick and giggle and get relaxed enough to go to bed easily. Just don't try to wash their hair (the little fluffy stuff on the sides) or try to moisturize them after their baths - that would make the in stereo screaming start. I cut that out really quick.


We started swimming lessons at the gym at 8 months old. They were excited to get in the water and kick around. But the pool was too cold for Chloe, she would start shivering and turning blue about 5 minutes into the lesson. But she was smiling...that's my girl!! Nate seemed to handle the temperature better with his added insulation of fat.



Everything seemed to be going well until...

...Nate's first time under water...

...little scary

Chloe's first time under water...

The stunned appearance and blueish-grey hue helped me determine that she did not need to do this again any time soon!

Trips to the Albuquerque Aquarium were an all time favorite.
We ended up spending a lot of time there watching the fish in the winter when it was too cold to be outside. Chloe loves to watch the stingrays in the shallow tank and Nate, as you can see above, is fascinated with the sharks in the large central aquarium. I can't wait to take them to the New England Aquarium in Boston. I grew up with a year round pass and spent a lot of time there with my brother while my father was working on Long Warf, just next door.
