Water baby

We FINALLY took Mitchell swimming for the first time at our hotel pool in Myrtle Beach. He was smiling and laughing and kicking all around. I put my past swimming instructor skills to the test and gave him a mini-swim lesson. He passed! :) Although I was a little hesitant, I QUICKLY dunked him underwater once so that he won’t learn to fear it. As soon as he popped up out from underwater, he was a little shocked and didn’t quite know what to think, but Jacob and I acted very excited…”yeah, Mitchell”, etc so he started smiling.

We took a video of his first swim experience, but don’t have the cable to hook up to the computer, so we can’t post it until we get back….stay tuned :)

We’re off to the beach today – sure to have lots of pictures to post.
