James took his first dip in the pool over our second 4th of July celebration. Papo and Nana were out exploring the west coast (and singing with Barry Manalow) when July 4th rolled around. So they wanted to celebrate again when they returned to back to the east coast. So we threw a party and celebrated our independence on July 14th as well! James was pretty much indifferent to swimming, which is how he and I suspect most babies his ages react to new things. He didn't cry, so we counted the adventure as a success. He did look really cute in his hat that came from Uncle Jim and Aunt Barbara in WV!
He has since been swimming one other time with my mom. I think he does enjoy it. He LOVES bath time. We had to start bathing him in the actual tub because he was splashing too much in the sink! We had to keep him contained some way! I think that as spring rolls around next year and he's closer to being a year old, he's really going to love the pool!
