I heart swimming!!

About 4 weeks ago we started swimming/water safety classes with James. Usually just he and I go on Saturday mornings while John-Mark stays with his Papa but this week Daddy got to come with us so I was able to take lots of pics and video! James really loves the water and has no fear - which kind of scares me a bit but hopefully these classes will help us learn to love and be careful near the water. In the class he has learned to kick on his tummy and back, move his arms to swim towards something; blow bubbles, float on his back, and just in the past two weeks we've started going under water. He has improved so much since the first week when he HATED getting his ears in the water and floating on his back but now he's starting to enjoy it and he does good with going under as well. We're planning a trip to the beach in a couple of weeks and it will be fun to get to be in the water so much and practice all we're learning plus teach some to John-Mark. Here some pics from our most recent class:

So excited and ready to get started!Floating (with some help from daddy)!!!The action shot - both arms and legs movin'!

Here are some other pics from last week. My mom and Papa Steve came to visit which ofcourse was a great time for the boys. Here John-Mark is pooped (which is obvious by the fact that he is just laying on this pillow while Papa Steve pushes him all over the place). James had to get in on the fun as well so he laid down next to John-Mark to get pushed around too!

James just being his cutie-pa-tootie self. Is there anything cuter than a baby in just a diaper?!? I love it but we can't do it very much with James because he likes to take his diaper off! The other day he took a nap like this and when I went to get him up his diaper was by his side (clean, thank goodness) and his little hiney was just hanging out!
