Floatie free!!

It was the perfect 103 degree summer day to spend the day in the pool with our good friends, the Rews! Ben and Jackson are 4 months apart and acted like they were good ole buds from way back when (their dads played baseball at OSU together). Natalee and Lyla (3 months apart)... well they spent the day trading off nap times and snoozed the heat away. 
Most importantly today - Ben swam with NO puddle jumper today! Like really swam, head under water and kicking away swimming from the middle back to the steps!!! So proud of my dare devil!


aaaawww cute picture....

sorry Lyla, maybe Natalee won't be so pouty sleepy next time :)

Pool rat!

Ben L-O-V-E-S the pool, like would swim from sunup to sun down if we let him. I am so glad he isn't afraid of the water but it's almost a curse because he isn't afraid AT ALL.  About gives us a heart attack with his "new moves" as he calls them.  We are now working on trying swimming with no floaties.... so far he loves to dunk his head under and under and under....phew he wears me out!

Setting the feet....

Launch mode...

and BAM BELLY FLOP!
