Am I blogging fool this week or what?! As anyone who has talked to me in the last couple weeks knows, we started infant swim lessons today! I was pretty excited and they turned out to live up to my expectations. It's a lot of walking around the pool with them but it was nice to have someone to tell me how to approach things like putting his face inthe water. Jack was a superstar swimmer--the teachers said he was suprisingly comfortable. I'm sure he's the next Michael Phelps ;-). He would dunk his head (by himself), come up sputtering, and then flash everyone a grin--quite the little charmer. There were only two babies in the class and two teachers. The other baby's dad was there too and offered to take pictures for me. (How nice!!)
This is the baby version of diving.
As class goes on they have mom get a little farther away.
They also practice "climbing out".
He got to chase a little floaty toy around to practice kicking his legs and moving his arms and as motivation to climb out.
This was the end of lesson shot, but I can't get the picture order to switch. (and I'm not willing to put a lot of effort into solving that little problem)
Chasing the little toy.

Goodlooking nephew. Looks like it was fun.
He's a natural and looks like he really is loving it. He definately is photogenic. Cute as always. Thanks for blogging like crazy. I love it. MOM
Jack is so cute! Lily did the same thing at that age: dunked her head in the water, sputtered and then would laugh histerically. She still does when she gets bored with blowing bubbles.
He is so unlike his dad. Matt clung to the side of the kiddie pool. Somewhere I have pictures to prove it. Oh, maybe you have them now.
Love and Aloha,
MOM
That is so much fun! I had no idea that they started children so young--so cool.
I want to do this! It looks like so much fun. Jack looks like a natural. Mike is like Matt and doesn't like the water. I'm like you and LOVE the water. It's a good thing our sons took after us!
I bet you're just loving this. I know how much you like to swim. Maybe you'll have a little Micheal Phelps on your hands!
My dad says that Jack is a little camera hog. lol. I 100% guarantee!
