Saving Jamisen's Life

IMG_7341

Well, we're pre-saving his life. Swimming pools and open bodies of water (including bathtubs and toilets) are dangerous places for babies to be. So, we have enrolled Jamisen in swimming lessons at the ripe old age of 8 months. So far, he's not a huge fan of the water but he is a huge fan of the play toys IN the water (see below).

Jamisen loves his ball!


Ball! Ball! Into the Mouth!


See the single minded focus in the below video as he goes for his ball (email subscribers, click through to see video)? The kid has the power of focus!



This sad boy photo is at the end of swim lessons, when he quite cold and shivering. He can't make it more than about 25 minutes before his body heat drops and he shivers. We left class a little early last week before of the shivering but ultimately, he's catching on to his lessons well.

I think this little video is precious. See how he reacts when Daddy pours water on his head?



Another ball chase video:



Demonstrating his ability to kick his legs (go Jamisen, go!)



Lest you believe that I am not swimming with Jamisen - I am. Someone had to take photos AND that someone also didn't want to be photographed in a swimsuit. So, thus all photos of Jamisen and Pappa in the pool And so, have one more, proud proud Pappa and son:
