look what i can do!

Yes, I know, it's been a while. This summer is flying by and I promise to go back and recap the vacations, fun times with cousins, and all the other memories.
But...
I must first be a proud mama for a minute and boast about my son.
I couldn't wait to get these pictures up for all to see.
Yesterday, at gramma and grampa's pool, Caleb decided that he could swim by himself. Scott and I were shocked at how our little fish jumped into the water and swam. It was really more of a doggy paddle, but who cares? :) He kept pushing our hands away as we would try to help him out. Oh my, a first big step toward independance...
Just Caleb and his swim belt!
He would jump into the pool and swim to the ladder (unassisted), climb out and jump in again!
Check out the joy on his face

The best was when he heard me tell my dad that he was incredible. Caleb replied with,
"Yes, I am incredible." :)

NO FEAR!

And here's a little video of my little man swimming! Great job Caleb!

Did you notice Abigail floating in her tube? I'll post some pics of her soon too! :)

Way to go Caleb! Wow!!! Hopefully this will inspire Gabi to keep trying new things in the pool :)

Great Job Big Boy!!!!! CJ started independently swimming from us this year too. He uses water wings...I wonder if the handy belt would help him feel more "free"...where did you get that at??
