Swimming Lessons!

This past week Jack and I did a Parent-Tot swimming class. We had lots of fun, and Jack really is a serious water baby! He was by far the youngest baby in the class we were in, but he did better than kids double his age. He does really well at kicking his legs and doesn't mind putting his face in the water! He even did alright when I totally dunked him under a few times throughout the week. He was able to just kick and swim around on his own when he had the floating barbells in his armpits, he could stand on his own and hang onto the side of the pool, he hung onto the little boogie board and kicked his legs, and I helped him go down the ducky slide. He really did amazing and absolutely loved the water. The instructor and other moms in the class were constantly commenting on how excited he was to be in the water and how well he did with each new thing! Good times! Daddy was able to come and watch one day and he took these pictures while Jack showed off for him!

Jack swimming like a champ with his floating barbells!



Hanging onto the side of the pool SO good!



Loving floating around on the noodle! (Look at that face!)



Wahoo! Crusin the pool! Nice face, Mom! But in my defense it is NOT easy helping a 20+ pound 9 month old swim around a pool for 5 days straight!! :)
