Water Babies and Front Teeth

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, life has been busy! The past week and a half, Nathaniel and I have gone to water babies class. Since Will is on the neighborhood board, we get free use of the indoor pool down the street. So each morning I've been putting Nathaniel's swimming trunks on and putting him in his stroller for our walk. He learned after a few days to get excited once we arrived at the pool and he saw the water. He realized that meant swimming!

To be honest I wasn't sure what he could actually do, but our instructor Bary (female) was wonderful. She is a baby expert and taught us all kinds of exercises and things we can teach him that will hopefully one day save his life if he ever falls in. It's also amazing to see what kind of instincts babies have in the water. Nathaniel did great - he had the cutest frog kick. He loved swimming - shrieked with happiness and laughter. We really had a good time together and he took some great naps for the first time ever after swimming! One day he completely passed out in the stroller on the walk home because he had exhausted himself at swimming.

Last weekend seemed really long - Nathaniel didn't feel well and had a slight fever. Both front teeth were working their way in. One has broken through and the other will shortly. Anyways, just wanted to give a quick update. Soon to come are the 7 month pictures in his chair.
