Baby's First Swim... a la mode.

Did you know "a la mode"

means "in the current style or fashion?"

While I may actually prefer

the Americanized version

that involves a mound of ice cream

being sat alongside- or on top- of something.

I mean, how did that become the term for 

adding ice cream to a hot dessert?

In the current fashion of... childhood obesity?

Not sure...

but I'm thankful someone made it happen.

I'm also thankful that my dear friend, Kyla,

snapped these pictures of Viola

having her first swim...

in an infiniti pool....

.... at a gorgeous chateau

sat amongst a vineyard

in Southern France.

That, my friend, is swimming in style.

If we keep up these kind of moves,

this baby's first words are going to be

"Treat Yo'self."

Moving beyond the ridiculousness of this girl's short life,

can I once again sing the praises of this gorgeous chateau?

If you missed it,

my full review is here.

You can go check it out

while I stare out the window

at the grey skies of London

bemoaning the pseudo-summer.

{Yes, the fairy tale is over and we are back to living in reality!}
