Today was the last day of swim class for the current session. We will be moving on to the next session, but Daphne still doesn’t particularly like being dipped underwater, but she’s getting the hang of not trying to sit up in her backfloat.

Daphne has been working on all kinds of things of late. But if I try to think of it in terms of “milestones” on some silly chart, it just doesn’t make sense. She’s been able to sit on her own for a while, but we still have pillows behind her since she occasionally forgets that there is effort involved in sitting up. She’s started “eating” solid foods, but there is significant question as to how much goes in. It doesn’t seem like you can ever “check off” any milestone except in retrospect.

Her big accomplishment seems to be the ability to draw blood with her tiny little finger nails clawing my neck while nursing. That or smacking me in the chin or trying to grab onto my teeth. Ah well.
