First Time Swimming

Frequent readers of this blog will recognize the title of today's post is at least partially correct. If you recall, Zac took a header into a kiddie pool several weeks ago but I don't think that could be considered officially going swimming. Yesterday, however, at the house of our friends Craig & Dee, Zac had his first experience in an actual pool. He enjoyed it quite a bit, though the infant float thingie (there on the left) we bought to let him enjoy the water turned out to be a bust. It appears he has more interest in bending forward to drink the water, much like he does in the tub, than just sitting and enjoying it.


He also had a fun time on an electric train that runs around on a track, as you can see by the second picture. Craig has these pedal trains he created that are run by hand (behind Zac), but Zac isn't quite big enough to do those yet, so he had this little plastic track set up for him to enjoy. He went around and around and around on this thing and really enjoyed it! The lever just below the steering wheel there is what makes it go and stop. Once I showed him how that worked, he did it on his own. I was quite impressed!
