Water Baby

Amazingly, it took us nearly seven months to get Jakob into a pool.  Too bad we waited so long, because he loved it from the very first minute we got in.  Perhaps swimming is genetic.  :-)

Watching my toes splash around is mesmerizing
We're going to have to make this a regular part of our playtime routine on weekends
