Little Miss Tumbler

Belle has been in tumbling class for a few weeks now and absolutely loves it! She is so fun to watch. She is a real go-getter and can already do a forward somersault, hang from the bar and swing her legs up, and walk on the beam with some help :)

Here she is heading up the mats, through the hole, and into a somersault.....
Walking the beam, then through the cave....
Rolling in some sort of cool ball. (Jamie and I totally wanted to get in and roll across the gym, but we held back. We didn't want her to get kicked out because of unruly parents)...
Climbing in and out of the "pool," as we called it.

Showing off her stuff on the bar. She can swing, then pull her legs up. With some help, she loved to spin around the bar.Belle and her instructor. She climbed up this huge tower of mats and then her instructor had her point out all the things in the gym. She felt so cool being bigger than everyone and she really studied hard to find everything he pointed out! She was even looking for birds! Then he worked on getting her to jump down. We still don't have the jumping thing figured out. It's more of a sudden step off, than a jump.
We have been so busy, that I didn't even get to post anything for Father's Day. So, here is a video of Jamie and Belle at tumbling class. You can see how wonderful of a father Jamie is to Belle. He is by far the best father she could have. Watching the two of them interact melts my heart because they have so much fun together and he ALWAYS gets her to laugh. He definitely wins the award for giving the best baths, reading books in the most enthusiastic way, making her laugh hysterically, making some yummy, creative meals, and teaching her how to do a somersault, among many other fitness related activities!! Belle definitely loves her daddy and it is not hard to see why! I have to agree with her!
