One thing we discovered early on is that Amanda loves the water.  She has absolutely no fear of water and will think nothing of jumping into a pool.  She loves swimming and we go every chance we get.

When Amanda was 4 mos. Old we took her on her first cruise.  She loved it.  She has always been a people watcher and we had hoped that she would like going.  People were amazed that we would bring such a "little baby" on a cruise, and I am sure some people thought we were awful parents for doing it.  I always say if she was given the choice she would have definitely wanted to go.  She has a blast!
