Baby in the Water!

We have just started swimming lessons.  Baby G loves them!  She has always been a water baby and loves baths and has taken to the swimming pool in the same enthusiasm.  We actually have a pool at home, but its far to cold for her to swim in it (or me either!), if we were to stay living here we would heat the pool, but we are about to move and rent the place out so thats not a justifiable expense.  The swimming lessons are really good, they basically learn to start getting used to putting their head under the water and also gaining awareness of splashing water and going 'back to the wall' - so as they get older they learn to go back to the wall if they start getting in trouble in the water.  We recently had a cold snap (for the tropics!) and G had a cold so we stopped going to swimming lessons for a month, but we are about to head back this weekend.  G got given SO many cute swimsuits when she was born and of course grew out of most of them before she could wear them!  I just packed away four bathing suits in size 00 as she has officially moved up to 0! Luckily we have a wetsuit and a pair of bathers in 0 so that should do the job for now, it will get to cold again pretty soon and swimming lessons will go back on hold.  Im sure Target will start to bring out some cute swimmers once we start to go back into Summer.

I blogged previously on my other blog about the swimsuits I picked up to go to swimming lessons, previously all I owned were string bikinis.  Although I have been lucky not to get any stretch marks and to go straight back to my previous weight, I felt it wasn't appropriate to wear string bikini's to parent and baby swimming classes!  My favourite swimsuit has been the BlackMilk full piece one http://howdidigetinthisnutshell.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/i-know-its-winterbut.html. I LOVE it, I am keeping my eye out for more quirky BM swimsuits that I would like.  I have a whole stack in my saved bag at ASOS, but there haven't been any discount codes and also because they are coming in to Summer over there - there are no sales on swimsuits.  At this point I have enough to get me through, I can't really justify buying anymore when I am on a serious spending ban!
