Joshandpanda love the pics of your lo! So cute!!
My 3 favorite sleep pics!
First is our first day home together
DH was trying to catch up on sleep after a long night at the hospital.
Then her first vacation; at the cottage
And this is also at the cottage but I figured she needed the full cottage experience including laying in a hammock. She slept better there than she did since she was born.
1st: Those are all too cute!
2nd: swim lessons already? Do tell, how is he doing. I was wondering about when to start Cortlan in swim lessons. Do you go to local YMCA, or where did you sign up for them? I know we're in different states, just curious because the only place I know locally is the Y.
I started him at 7 months (the place I went to start them earliest of 6 months). I went to a local business called DiVentures. How was it going? well... I won't go back, thats for sure. Not that I didn't learn, or him learn anything, but our instructor said she has never taught a child younger than 12 months, and the class we were in was more for 12 month + children, as far as what they were teaching (eg: kicking when told to kick, blowing bubbles when told to blow bubbles, etc.) a 7 month old doesn't comprehend to do something when you tell them...
I did, however, learn the proper techniques to submerge them underwater, and 'games' teaching how to get them used to water on their face, etc.
I will not be going back, to at least this place, but will look into taking him to local pools (like the Y) and teaching him from here on out. (I used to be a substitute swim teacher back in high school, for older kids, but I took these lessons to know what to do for infants)
I do recommend taking them while they are younger, but honestly... IMO, I wouldnt spend the money taking them somewhere this young... get a membership to the Y, watch you tube videos on proper submersion techniques, and do it yourself... teach them to kick their legs, by holding them in the back float, and you kick their legs for them, same with arm movements for swimming, while they are floating on their belly with their face above the water.
