Noah's Swimming


Noah is no longer a cling peach! He used to want to jump into our arms and swim around the pool while attached to us. Today he decided to actually let go. He loves it and talks about how he knows how to swim now! Yay Noah!



Nate joined us for a bit too! Our little baby swimmer!

More Swimming

We decided to do some more swimming...





Of course, Nate woke up just before we got out so he didn't get to swim.

Swimming

Sorry these pics aren't focused. We didn't realize the lens was only half open.
Swimming was a blast. Noah and Nate both loved it - but who wouldn't in 110 degrees!? This was Nate's first time in the pool and did really well. Noah swims now with his water wings. He is just starting to catch on that he doesn't go under because of them. It used to be a bit of a fight getting them on because he felt like they just got in the way. Now he knows that they're his life savers. He loves jumping in (over and over and over) and even likes to go under. At one point, he had the three of us holding hands and jumping in together.

Swimming at Aunt Jenna's

Aunt Jenna and John had us over again to swim in their community pool. I was a little disappointed about them moving away from the pool, but delighted to hear that there is another pool in their new neighborhood - good choice guys!!
This picture is of John teaching Noah how to pet a dog. Noah has very little experience around animals and though he loves them, he can get overwhelmed with them getting so close.

Happy Birthday Mom/Mimi!


Poppy surprised Mimi with a small surprise party. We had a spectacular meal of broiled sea bass, fried halibut, fried bay scallops, cole slaw, and french fries. It's funny how you can take a potentially healthy meal and throw it in some oil and all the nutrients go right down the drain. It certainly was delicious though. I made blueberry crumble for dessert and boy was it scrumptious with vanilla ice cream melting on top. I definitely slacked off with taking pictures because I was tied up helping to prepare the meal. Jay, Noah, and Mimi swam while we slaved in the kitchen. We had a great evening eating and telling stories. Happy Birthday to the best mom in the world! When I say that, I mean the best mom for me - I hope that everyone thinks that their mom is the best!

Cooling off


Noah took a little ride around Mimi's pool this afternoon. She also found some fruit puree popsicles, so I folded and let Noah have one - mainly because I was so warm and wanted one myself. I would've felt terrible eating a refreshing treat in front of him while he continued to bake in the sun. Needless to say, he enjoyed it, but believe it or not, he didn't want to eat the whole thing.

Swimming at Aunt Jenna's

Aunt Jenna invited us over for dinner and to swim. Dinner was delicious and we had fun playing with Noah in the pool. I only took a few pictures because I wanted to join in on the fun. They tried to teach him to jump in the pool, but he just walks in instead. John twisted the noodle into a pretzel around Noah and floated him around. I wish I got a picture of that because it was so cute! He also loved standing on the rafts. We'll definitely be going over again soon!!
