*{Proud Mama}* Fort Irwin CA Photographer

Today was a big day in our house. Little Miss M swam in her first swim meet! She is on the team here at Fort Irwin, and it has all been a bit overwhelming for her...she is by far the smallest kiddo on the team and the poor thing just took her very first swim lesson in June. But she *really* exceeded our expectations at today's meet! I think she was more excited by the fact that she was able to wear her big girl racing suit today than the fact she was able to swim. But she did get into the groove of it all and was very excited for her heats. She did the 25m freestyle, 25m backstroke, and 25m breaststroke. And as a very proud mama, I am so happy to report she was the first in her heat for the backstroke. I'm not going to lie, she took us by surprise!! But she did great and finished her backstroke in 37.62 seconds! Way to go Miss M! That is definitely going to be her stroke, but it was a great confidence booster for her.

So as a proud mama would, here are some pics I snapped of her getting ready for her heats. She automatically thinks she is an Olympian when she puts her fancy suit on...and you can be my little one if that is what you want.

Enjoy the pics...now off to get ready for another lakebed session!! Can't wait!
