Mr. Fishy

Max is going to be a water baby! We already knew he loved his baths, but weren't sure if he would like swimming since the water is cold. Yesterday was our first attempt at letting him "swim". He LOVED it! He didn't cry at all, but we had to take him out because his hands and arms were purple! Since he never stops kicking his feet, he can make himself go across the pool.

We are going to have a fun time in the sun this summer, and keep the sunscreen companies in business! We walked TO the Rec Center (1/2 mile or less from our house) and he got burned. We didn't even walk home, my Mom brought us back, but the poor kid got burned.



Max and Mommy. This is his "swimming suit". Cheaper than an actual swimming suit, but much better for his skin, and dang cute :)


Asher and Max playing in the small pool


This picture's main purpose is to prove Mr. Max has hair. You can see it pretty well when it's wet

Max and Daddy after 1st swim. Max refused to look at the camera.


Cousin Asher chillin' after their first swim

Asher and Max. Red headed, blue eyed cousins. Ever tried to get 2 babies to look at the camera and smile at the same time? It's nearly impossible!


Max and Daddy swinging. Max is not a fan of swinging, but we're trying to get him over it. He will actually swing a little now, so we're making progress.

We have a bird nest with a baby in it in our tree

Max during swim #2. He chews on absolutely everything.

So cute! We are lame parents have not taken Marshall swimming. I think we are finally going to try it this weekend.

Too cute! I wish we'd taken Brooklyn when she was younger so she wasn't so scared of the water. In Cali last year Brooklyn took almost 1/2 hour to get into the pool. She starts some swimming lessons next week, we're hoping it helps her feel more comfortable in a large pool. She loves her baths and swimming pool in the backyard...just not any large pool, even if it is a kiddy pool.
