i Don This was a great weekend for Noah. He turned 4 months old AND swam for the first time. I took him to a friend’s pond and I think that did the trick – no waves like in the lake. He actually first went in chasing a butterfly (see first picture) but after went in after the bumper. I think he liked the fact that he can walk around pond and still see me from even the opposite end as he dove in and swam right across when I called. Of course he also rolled in the mud and got totally filthy but he had such a good time. We took him to the pond three days in a row which was great. The pond is in a huge field that is fully fenced and my friend says that I can use it anytime J so guess where we will be every Saturday and Sunday morning ;-). Here are a few of the pictures we took ( I have many many more). Take care Vanessa
