Heeere Fishy, Fishy...

Max has been a little water baby since the first time we motored him around in the apartment pool in Rapid City. Combine the natural affinity he has for water with the huge blessing that my parents have a pool in their backyard and we have one bona fide fish on our hands!

You wouldn't think that September would be a major month for swimming news, but with the beautiful weather this year we were able to enjoy the pool through Labor Day weekend and beyond. Think we'll hit October this year? ...Okay, that may be pushing it.

So this weekend Max had a swimming breakthrough, and I am so excited to share it with you!  See for yourself:

We have a swimmer on our hands! With no life jacket, and no help from Dad, he is able to keep himself afloat in deep water. And the best part is... he LOVES it! We nearly had to drag him out of the pool for a break. Otherwise he would have just kept swimming until he couldn't move his limbs anymore. I am so proud of my little boy... who is not so little anymore.

Look out, Michael Phelps, here we come!
