Anyone up for a swim??

Here is a picture of Jackson taken just today; it was his 3rd swimming lesson.

Jackson is now able to enter the water (from a seated postion along side the pool) all by himself. He is able to independently walk around in the water and chase after his toys. Although he loves to "play" in the water with balls and other float-able toys, he is still pretty scared to get his face and head wet. We are working on laying 'flat as a pancake' on his back (ideally with his ears underwater), and 'going under' - which we are really no where close to being able to do yet. Jackson will blow bubbles but that is all the further he likes his face to be underwater. He is, however, having fun with either mom or dad (depending on who takes him to swim lessons) in the water, and learning some new skills--and that's what's important. We are very proud of him!
