Last week we started swimming lessons at the Y.M.C.A., well... "water adjustment" class is the technical term, but I call it swimming lessons! We get to do a lot of splashing around in the pool. We get to do everything from washing our legs and face, jump-in's off the pool deck, front crawl and back crawl where we kick our legs, and then we get to play with toys so that we reach out and grab for a toy that teaches us how to reach out mimicking a swim stroke.
Today I played with the taxi cab. Last week I had the sailboat... and I am eyeing the fire truck that I saw in the toy bin for next week.
Here dad is helping me practice the back float, and I am helping him clean breakfast out of his beard with my toes.
One of the "lessons" we learn each week is how to blow bubbles. Everyone is having a tough time with the "blow" concept, and we end up drinking a lot of the water. Here is a picture of dad and I staring at a coughing classmate.
Alright, where did my taxi cab go?
Time to hit the showers, another week of swim class under our belt!
We had the chance to get out on the lake for some family fun, and try on a new life vest. Finnegan update: I have 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8! teeth now, and I am a motoring machine when it comes to crawling around the house. Watch out Stella's dog dish~here I come!
My grunts and laughs are contagious. 
Swimming lessons are going good. I am getting real comfortable in the warm water at the YMCA, and having fun splashing around. So much fun splashing around, that I have learned to use those skills in the bath tub at home. You should see the amount of water that I can get on the kitchen counters.
Whoa... Dad showing me how the periscope on the boat works.
I got to DRIVE... drive... drive. 
Have a good weekend everyone!
