Swimming

My mother in law invited me over to go swimming yesterday so Bradley and I went over to do just that. She got him little swim trunks and pool floaties. I slathered him in sun screen and we hopped into the pool. He doesnt quite know how to kick his legs yet but I worked on that with him by taking him in big circles to see if that would help. (I have never attended a baby swim class so I am not really sure if this is what you do to teach babies to swim but it cant hurt anything.)

Here is Bradley giving me a high five!

He was splashing like crazy and getting himself soaked. It was awesome to see him doing that!

Here is him in the pool floatie. He was not stable enough for it really so I had to hold onto him and all he tried to do in it was eat the bar on the front but he sure does look cute! (I later found out that this one was also part of the mass recall of pool floaties that are known to have the seat fall out so I am glad that I always had a hold of him just in case!)

It was only about 70 degrees out and even though the pool was a nice 85 we didn't stay in too long because it did get chilly. Swimming really wears him out and he slept like a baby (obviously) all the way home.

  1. We have a floatie like this but I haven't used it yet. Good thing too, if it's been recalled!
