Big Swim Moves By My Waterbug!

Ben's swimming skills took another huge leap forward at Grandma's and Grandpa's with unassisted swimming and diving for rings/toys! He's very attached to some cool new shark goggles that Grandma gave him... and he had a blast showing off for the camera. He could have stayed in the the pool all day every day. What a big boy he's becoming! They don't do swim lessons in Altus until you're 4 years old (aside from mommy/daddy and me pool class that we did a year or so ago), but Grandma and Grandpa set us up with some great private lessons in NC to refine his skills and to show me what else I could do to work with him back home. We were very excited to show daddy once we returned!

My little man and I actually go some great color during our expeditions despite my constant coating of us both in SPF 30! He's the tannest red head I've seen! Much more then I've ever been.

He's getting really good! But still needs someone right there... of course. If you zoom in you can see a good 19 week baby bump! I just couldn't believe it! Had to take a close up!

I can't believe what a big boy he's becoming!

Way to go Ben! You're a swimming superstar! We're all super proud of you and can't wait to do lots of swimming in a few weeks! I agree with Heather, super cute suit and you look fab! Love the bump! Can't wait to see you guys! (And please DO NOT bring the dog breed book...it's going to be a LONG time before we need to borrow it! thanks though...;-)
