Swimming!

Alex went swimming for the first time today. We went to the warm therapeutic pool in Bellevue with our friends Amy and Dalton. At first Alex was a little uncertain about the water, but he definitely enjoyed it after a while. He liked being pulled around the pool on his back and his belly. He also liked standing on Mom's knees - he didn't weigh as much in the water so he could support himself. Mom tried twice to dunk him under the water, but both times he swallowed water and wasn't happy. We will try that again next time. We'll also bring Dad along next time so we can get better pictures.


Alex also took his first shower after the pool. He likes the water on his back but definitely not on his face.
