Irina Swimming!

Irina went to what I call "swimming boot camp" this past week, I was surprised how much she liked it. The instructor Kaleb, is my friends husband and him and his assistant, teach the classes out of Kalebs home. In Irina's class there were 4 kids total, her and another little boy were they youngest at 2yrs old. The classes are a bit pricey but WELL WORTH it to me, we have taken "mommy & me" swim classes in the past but never saw this much progress. I was so bummed that I had little memory left on my camera so I only have short clips to show yall. Craig took a long stream lined video with our actual camcorder but its too long to upload on here. Anyway, she did GREAT! Craig and I are SOO proud of her! I can tell she was proud of herself too, especially when everyone clapped. The whole week I dropped her off for an hour and went to the near by, kid to kid shop and to starbucks with another mom. She has learned to actually propel herself forward by pointing her arms and kicking her legs, she can hold her breath easily and can float on her back. I was very impressed with the other kids skills as well. The instructors are AWESOME! This short clip below is of Irina being taken to the bottom of the pool and picking up rings and a colored stick. She was SO PROUD of herself! Friday was the final day and the parents were all invited to watch their little fish!

Fathers Day Photos


these top 2 photos are Craig's faves






I took these photos of Irina as Craig's Fathers Day gift. Irina is taking instruction so well when it comes to photos-it makes photo sessions much easier than last year. I took some others but I haven't showed them to Craig yet, as soon as he sees them, Ill post them on here also.

30 WEEKS PREGGERS


30 weeks w/ baby odom #2


My pregnancy has really started to fly by at this point, I'm trying to relish every day. I LOVE feeling him kick and turn inside my tummy. Its such an amazing thing when you think about it, a tiny human is being formed from head to toe; its truly a miracle. This baby likes to kick at night mostly, not like his sister at all. His kicks seem stronger to me as well and he likes to sit on my right side, up towards my ribs. Recently I think he's been getting the hiccups, I feel a constant rhythmic thumping and can only assume that's what it is. I cant wait to meet him!
