Playing, Swimming, and Great Grandma and Me

Zackary's Great Grandma (Eleanor) turns 90 this week so the family celebrated her birthday today. We played a trivia game about her life to see who knew the most and it was interesting learning new facts about her growing up. Zackary had a great time playing with my cousin's kids and just watching everyone. They look so cute together in the picture huh? So surreal... a 90 year old and a 11 month old together...reminds you to enjoy each moment best you can cause they fly by!

Zackary started swim classes this past week. Great Grandma came with us for support and he loved having her there. He got ready for his class (see the cute speedos...love it!) and sat on her lap watching all the children in the pool. When it came time to start class he just had a blast and fit right in perfectly. He kicked and learned to float on his back, and we played humpty dumpty and fell into mom's arms in the water, and tried holding our breath. He had a good nap after that class! They say it's really important for children to learn at a young age how to hold their breath and turn over and float on their back in case they ever fall in a lake, pool, etc. So we are learning! And it's summer so it's a fun activity for us to do. Our music classes are over, doing swim now, hum...what class should we try next?

He was watching every move going on in the pool...patiently and skeptically waiting his turn.

His new favorite thing to do over and over is flip through pages of books and then throw them all on the floor. It's so fun to watch. He really is looking like a toddler to us in this picture.
