Owen Goes Swimming

After watching Rachel swim so much, Owen decided it was time for him to give it a try.

Here he is in his very first dip - really not quite sure if he was a very big fan of it.

Ultimately, he enjoyed hanging out in the baby pool while Rachel played as our normal pool at the Y was closed for a private party. It turned out to be great because we had the little pool to ourselves most of the time and it was completely shaded by a big tree.

Even with ideal conditions, Owen did not want to get very far into the water.

Rachel, on the other hand, had a grand time chasing her balls and frisbee around the pool.

At home, Owen has been doing very well in his play gym. He likes to grab the mirror so he can get a good look at the handsome baby hiding in there.

So much fun!

He can push himself up very well when on his tummy.

Just a moment later, he found himself on his back, unsure of what happened. This is the first time he rolled himself over.

All was well again when he was back on his tummy.

Wes' Aunt Joan made a beautiful blanket for Owen. He has enjoyed playing on it and Rachel really likes to identify all of the letters and numbers.
