Xander Week 44 – Water Fun Time
July 19, 2007
We have all heard that infants naturally possess the ability to swim. I was unable to test the theory when Xander was small (and I’m not sure I could have just let him go in a pool of water…) but now that the weather is finally warm, we have been able to take him into the water. Xander’s first trip was on Father’s Day. It was not as big a hit as I had hoped. The weather was a bit cool, and the water was rather cool as well, and Xander did not think that jumping into that cold water was any amount of fun.
Over the past few weeks we’ve had three or four more opportunities to go swimming, and each time Xander gets more and more comfortable in the water. Our last two trips, he’s actually put his face in the water – and keeps putting it in, almost as if he wants to taste the water. We’ve been having lots of fun with Xander in the water, and I’m hoping that the little guy continues to enjoy water play.
This is the cutest picture EVER!!
