Poolside (where we've been) 6/24/12

Out of the past two weekends, we've spent three out of four days at the pool to try and give Jake a ton of practice at what he learned in swimming lessons.
 

We've been having him wear a little Superman life vest to keep him above water while he worked his arms and legs.

Yesterday, he asked if he could take it off and do some real swimming without it, and he did awesome.

I think once he gets a little more strength and stamina, he won't need a vest at all.

Way to go, Buddy!  We are crazy proud of you! (Even Parker - he gave his big bro a hug yesterday when he saw us do the same after Jake made that first jump and long stretch of no-vest swimming half-way across the pool.  Totally priceless!)
