In the past week Adam has made great LEAPS in the pool. This past week he has shed the life jacket, the fishy swim ring, and Mom and Dad! He just likes the water wings to help him float around the big pool. He has learned very quickly that by kicking his legs continuously he can motor all over as well as keep his head up above water.
He has learned from Lainey to count before jumping in, however he prefers to count to 10 instead of 3, and we have found that when he is mid-air we have to pull him away from the side as he doesn't jump out far enough. We decided this was necessary after the first time he hit his butt on the side and like all of his "ouchies" wanted me to kiss it....
The counting is quite amazing though, every number is recognizable, and at 10 he gives a big "YAY 10!"
By watching Lainey in the pool he has also learned the doggie paddle and would rather get back to the side of the pool or the steps on his own. Bigg Time! Like I mentioned before, Michael Phelps Jr. in training.
Adam is very proud of his water wings, and also to show Daddy what we had been working on all week!
My sweet little heart breaker!
Getting back on his own. If he feels our hands near him, he freaks out and pushes us away!
