Carson goes swimming!

We have a wonderful swimming pool in our neighborhood, and Carson went swimming yesterday for the first time. We had a blast! Carson loves the water, and I even took him into the big pool and he went underwater pretty easily. It is a good thing that he is a little "fish"--because this family loves swimming! :)

Carson locates the toys I am bringing with us , and as usual he goes for "Scuba Steve" first...
He checks him out a little bit...

and promptly puts Scuba Steve in his mouth. Yum Yum!

Carson says his goodbyes to Kava--which is sometimes emotional for both of them. They are such good buddies!

Here we are at the pool! I couldn't wait to get Carson in the water to see if he liked it. It was 93 degrees, so it was the perfect day for some swimming!

Carson borrowed a floaty from our friend down the block--I am still trying to decide what water toys to buy for Carson, so this was a good test run. At first...he seems a little timid. But soon he was kicking and walking all over the baby pool in this thing!

Carson definitely enjoyed playing in the water--and relaxing a bit at times...

I knew he loved it when he would just spontaneously start laughing. It is so much fun to see him try things for the first time. :)

Jeff and Crystal came over to see Carson swim, and he had a great time hanging out with them.

After some good kicking and swimming around, it was time to go home. Carson could barely keep his eyes open when we left--and he took a GREAT nap when we got home.

It was a fun day!
