Swimming and 11 Months Old!

I can hardly believe it, but Evan will be 11 months old tomorrow! It seems like yesterday that we were looking at him for the first time! He is growing so much. He's very tall and we think he weighs about 20 pounds now. He is eating regular table food and loving it! He loves chicken and any kind of potatoes (sweet or white). We're still working on the green veggies. Of course he still love his Nilla wafers and club crackers for snack. Since I last posted we took him off all medication again. For some reason the antacids act as an appetite suppresant for Evan. It doesn't make sense to the Dr. or to us. So far his reflux has stayed in check. We're praying it will continue to do so and he'll not need any further treatment for it. He is trying to walk which has resulted in some bruises. He is such a happy little guy! We have learned that Evan loves water. Well, actually we've know it since he was little. Even when he was a newborn he loved to have his bath and hair washed. Since we live in FL there are pools at basically every home. I am determined to teach Evan how to swim while he still has no fear of the water. We have been working on completely submerging him. He does really well as you can see. A little disoriented when he first comes up, but not freaking out. He has even started kicking his legs as if he's starting to understand that's how to move in the water.

This is SO cool! Andy wants Clayton to swim early, but I wasn't too sure I liked that idea until I saw this! When did you start the water stuff?

He is just SOOO ADORABLE!! That's awesome that you're teaching him how to swim :) It's hard to believe he's 11 mos already - Alex turned 8 mos on Sunday and I still can't believe my little boy is not so little anymore. Please tell Jay and Tonya congrats from us!

It is good that you start at a young age with the swimming. My parents started at a young age for me and I lived in the water all summer long. Congrats on being an aunt again.
