Erik and Summer Sanders Schlopy’s Little Mini-Mes
Parents always wonder if their kids will grow up to be like them, and Olympians Summer Sanders Schlopy and Erik Schlopy are beginning to think that may be the case with their two!
The 35-year-old swimmer believes that daughter Skye Bella may take after her because she has started jumping off the side of the pool, but says that the two year old is "not a daredevil" — that job is left up to little brother Charles Robert Spider, 6 months. Named after former U.S. ski racer Spider Sabich, the youngest Schlopy is beginning to show signs of taking after his dad, skier Erik. Erik, 35, explains that Spider’s "pretty active," adding that, "If he’s anything like me, in acouple years, he’ll be jumping off the roof and scaring the heck out ofus."
Something that may add to Spider’s activeness is the fact that his mom didn’t stay still during her pregnancy with him. In fact, she created Growing Bellies, a workout DVD for mothers-to-be, with her sister-in-law Keri Crockett while seven months pregnant. "I was just itching to do something and be creative," the former Skating With Celebrities host explained. The DVD, which showcases workouts for a woman in each of the trimesters of her pregnancy, is expected to be released in January.

Her name sounds so familiar even though I don’t follow the Olympics at all, then I realised she used to be the host of the Nickelodeon show Figure It Out! My brothers and I used to watch it every day! She’s gorgeous.
