Ellie's 1st Swim Lesson + Shots at Doctor, What was Mom thinking?

Ellie had her one year check up today and I swear that she remembered the doctors office. As soon as we went to the exam room she freaked out. She seemed to know that shots were coming and was not happy. She kept pointing to the door, I felt pretty bad as her torturer. The good news is she's healthy and weighing in at 21.9 lbs and 31.7 inches tall. Not many pictures as we were playing a lot of games during this hour long appt.
That afternoon Ellie had her 1st swim lesson--great planning on Mom's part:) We were lucky because Grandma, Tia Julie and Jason ended up getting off in time to be there as well. Jason volunteered to take the class with Ellie today and they had a great time. Ellie wasn't thrilled at times but she would just make her voice heard, not really crying. But there were lots of smiles as well. She seemed to be intrigued by the other babies in the class.
Willem acted as though he'd been taking classes all Summer. He was giddy being back in lessons. He was making silly faces and playing around while waiting for his turn. Absolutely joyful.
The playground at Hubbard was a hit with Ellie. She was climbing in there with the big kids and going down the slide by herself. She is truly a toddler now!
