We Have A Floater!

Saturday after Aikman’s nap, we went swimming. He wore one of his little floatie suits Gigi had bought him last summer. He is getting so good about kicking his feet and moving his arms to swim. He can kick to get where he wants to go but wants you to move his top half for him so Devin finally got him to move his arms. It’s so cute because it is like a doggy paddle he does. His little arms are under the water but he is moving them and swam to the ladder (with Devin still holding his stomach of course) from the middle of the pool. He did however float on his own! We had been working on it, but he always stays tense and uses his abs to sit up. This day he was ready. Devin laid him down and he put his arms out and tried to sit up a little but Devin got him to relax and he floated! He did it for about 2 minutes on his own! Devin was not touching him at all. We were so proud of him and he even told me wook momma wook but he said it so slow like I can’t move much or I might sink. It was hilarious. When he was ready he went to sit up and Devin grabbed him and you could tell by the smile on his face he was so proud of himself. We were ecstatic and could not praise him enough. My baby is so not a baby anymore. He is just precious and learning new things daily. He would stay in the water all day if you let him. He also tans very well which made his light skinned daddy happy J He has the funniest farmer’s tan from wearing his swim shirts with his trunks.

How cute does he look? That last pic with the crazy smile is his cheese! When you get out your camera or phone he immediately says cheese and poses and holds it and so by the time you take the pic, he has been like that for a few seconds and it comes out silly. He still looks adorable though! Notice his crossed ankles lol He is a crazy boy I tell you! He also is the first one we get ready when we go to swim and so he has to wait on us and he will repeatedly say I'm ready! Ready Momma? I'm ready? Daddy you ready? I ready! Ready sim?
