Swimming Lessons?

Since Owen is a summer baby, I really wanted him to dip his toes in the water at least once during his very first summer.  We thought he would probably cry and be upset, but he did just fine.  The worst part for him:  Mom lathered his entire body up with sunblock (never can be too sure in San Antonio!) and the sun was REALLY bright!...Well, and Dad accidentally let his head dip down too far and he got a taste of pool water. 

We'll take him again earlier in the day so the sun isn't so bright and try again but we're sure that when he hits his next summer, he'll love it!



Testing out the waters...I was saying "Just his feet!  Just a little try!  Is he gonna cry?  What's he doing?  Is he okay?"  And he was!


Seems to be okay even though he's making that horrible face.  It was mostly the sun in his eyes.


Oops, Dad just dunked me and I didn't like it.  I think I'd like to get out now.


Just a few minutes in the pool - it was so hot and bright Matt and I couldn't take it anymore!  Isn't he tall?


A nap after the swim.  Can you think of a better way to spend a summer afternoon?  And his hair is so crazy because I put sunblock on his head...it took me two washes to get it back to normal!
