Swimming... swimming... in the swimming pool!

He was blowing bubbles... or drinking water... had his face flat in the water!

Mr Man in tow...

Me and Mr Grayson!

Learning how to escape the pool!

Swimming.... 

Floating on his back being "towed" around the pool!

The Mr and me!

He likes to splash!

Before the swim lesson! He rode into the pool in style of course!

I remember as a child ALWAYS being in my Mimi's swimming pool all summer long! We would spend the night over there... eat breakfast and head on out! We would spend half the day out there swimming then lunch and for an afternoon snack, frozen punch and chocolate covered peanut butter crackers! Yummy! I miss going over to Mimi's house for these great days and summer always seems to remind me more of great times spent with her cause we normally spent half our time there cause mom worked and it kept us active!

Well since I LOVE swimming I wanted to start Grayson off on a good note SO Grayson is taking swimming lessons at the YMCA! Yes they are parent and child and it is not as much swim lessons as lets get the parents and child more comfortable in the pool! It is SO much fun! Grayson thinks the water is so much fun! I know once he starts walking I am in trouble cause he has NO fear! Unlike the older kids in the class that won't stick their head in the water he dunks his face right in and drinks up half the pool! Ha ha! When I "tow" pull him around the pool he already kicks his legs and tries to move his arms! He is just a natural... ha ha! But he really is cute in the pool! He already has a new friend in class! He is a little boy named Evan that is a week younger than Grayson! It was so cute they were across the pool from one another just chatting away till we put them next to each other and then they gave each other a quick hand shake and splash! My friendly kid!

Well things are going well with Grayson! We are changing up his medication for the asthma and if all goes well we hopefully won't have to see the pediatrician till his 1 year visit! Wow in less than 2 months! I can't believe he is almost a year old! He is SO big! 

He has been taking a few steps here and there! Yesterday I had him in the living room and by the time I left my kitchen to look and see what the strange sound was on my stairs... yes just 2 minutes... he was at the top of my crazy stairs looking SO proud of himself! He has done SO well at staying off the stairs and never going up! He has gone up Serah's stairs but never mine... but now... oh I need gates at the house! I guess that is the next buy! I was hoping to wait till I had the contractors out to fix my upstairs BUT looks like I need them sooner than that since I never am gonna have the insurance company come fix things! Oh how I loathe Texas Windstorm! Please pray for NO MORe hurricanes!

Well above are the pictures mom took the first day of swim lessons! 

We missed a few classes due to my on the job injury... Oh I HATE being injured! And they changed my hours for work and due to the fact that I am not supposed to do many things and oh longs story... and this is not about me!

Well Grayson is taking a nap and I need to clean SOME... so enjoy the pics I know that I sure do!!!
