Summer 2015 Swimming Lessons

Oliver started swimming lessons in June for the first time at 9 months old.  He loved the water right away!  He's just getting better and better at splashing and kicking and jumping into Mom & Dad's arms from sitting on the edge of the pool.  Oh and waving at Grandpa & Grandma of course.  He enjoys staring at the lifeguard on duty while we go in circles singing primary songs which makes me think he's either interested in helping others or likes the idea of relaxing in a tall chair.  He loves 'chasing' the water toys, splashing and kicking across the pool.  He was even monkey crawling along the edge of the pool by himself at the last lesson!  I swear I only let go for a second....  :)


Micol took these AWESOME pics!
