One little fish, swimming in the water

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Tuesday we started Mommy and Me swim classes! Gabe was SUCH a good boy during his class (and even afterward when me and Daddy stopped off at Zaxby's for some supper). I was nervous that he might be a little irritated because sometimes he is very tired at that time of day, but he wasn't. He LOVED the water and had a great time being in it and looking at all of the other children. I am so relieved that it seems like he is going to be a little fish as Daddy and I really love water activites. This summer we have a pool memebership and are so excited to able to take Gabe and get him even more accustomed to it. And then there is our trip to the beach at the end of May! There is a lot to look forward to this summer!

In the video at the top we are working on our first "skill" which was teaching the babies to get into the pool when mommy (or Daddy) says, "it's ok to get in the pool now". And then the same thing when it is time to get out. This is a good skill to have because once he is able to walk, I certainly don't think we want him just jumping in on his own accord!! We were using a little rubber ducky to get his attention and to help with the skill. Here are some additional pictures...

Hey Gabe,

JB just went on his first camping trip and loved it! Although the other campers probably did not like him running through their campsite, no one complained. Keep doing good at swimming lessons.

Love ya,
Aunt Mary
