Swimming Lessons

This summer we decided to put Little Man in swimming lessons and he did a great job. The first few days he was a little timid and then decided to whine throughout most of the remaining lessons. The one thing that I noticed was that he would whine, but was completely obedient.... Hmmmm. Here's how the lessons started .... At this point, I wanted to jump in and rescue him, but I knew that he would begin to like the lessons (I hoped)



Here are some videos of him swimming and by the end he was smiling. He is such a good little fish. This one was the first time off the diving board....

And this was how he progressed off the diving board...

And diving for sticks off the bottom step was his favorite, he even starting instructing the coach what he was going to do....

And for some updated pictures of Ax Man. Little Man loves his brother so much, this morning he decided to read to him in his swing. I tried to get a picture of him smiling, but was quickly instructed by Little Man to go upstairs. Am I supposed to be disciplined by my two year old?


We have Ax's 2 month appointment today (He now weighs 12 lbs 12 ozs and is 23 1/2 inches) and he is now officially bigger than Little Man was at this age. Take a look at these pictures of Little Man and Ax, do you think they look alike???


One last note, do you like the new look of my blog... Thanks to Astraea for redesigning and giving it a fresh look :) I love it!!! (check out her website).

Love the new layout, Astraea is fantastic!

Colin - aww.

And I think they do look a lot a like, Ax's eyes are different but other than that they are pretty similar.

Hi! I found your blog through my friend Rachel! I just saw that you have a newborn baby and I am doing free photography sessions right now for newborns, I am trying to build my portfolio.... let me know if you are interested. I did some photos for Rachel a few months ago if you go to my blog and you can see them! Congrats!
