Xander has really taken to swimming. He's our little water bug. Sometimes though he thinks it's a good idea to swim to us when we aren't looking. That makes me really nervous but he's learning. Cameron has him hold onto the side of the pool then swim over to Cameron's back then they swim together under the water for a few seconds.. Xander just can't get enough of the water! He rarely wants to have his arm floaties on - unless he is hanging out and floating with mommy :)
He'll just jump straight into the pool from the side and swim to us. The longest he has held his breath has been about 8-10 seconds. whew! It doesn't seem much but waiting for him to resurface seems like forever.
I welcome the swim time- I feel weightless when I'm in the water, being 8 months pregnant is hard on the body. Thank you to our friends who let us use their pool :)
Since he's a skinny kid, like his daddy, he gets cold quickly so he is always shivering way before he is done with being in the pool. Xander likes to snuggle after a swim session and I welcome anytime when he wants to be a snuggle bug :) Especially since he is always go go go!
Cameron has Xander practice floating so that he knows it is safe to be on his back - where he can breathe. It's amazing how fast he learns! I love watching the two of them.
