Jason's Swimming

Since we last talked swimming back in early March, we've been to a pool twice! It's been a cold spring here in California, and even on the warmer days, we don't always plan quick enough to use pools. Regardless, Jason has started swimming. We believe discovering how to float and experiencing that sensation gave him what he needed. So back in March when Grandpa Al & Anja where visiting, he started swimming under water at their hotel pool. He can only go as far as he can hold his breath then he stands up to breathe. So you can't say he's swimming (and we've been sure to explain that to him so he doesn't just jump into a pool and think he can swim!) But he's getting there and loves it! He's so proud, and I was proud to see him continue his underwater swimming last week at our cousin's pool. Here's a short video of him swimming to the steps... (don't bother with sound unless it's already on, you'll just hear Stephen's voice talking to Adam and it'll distract from Jason's amazing strokes :)
Hopefully it'll warm up around here soon and we'll get lots more swim time so he can continue to teach himself . (And yes, you can remind me that I just asked for heat when August rolls around and I'm complaining of the horrible heat and our house with no air conditioning because I'll be really pregnant and that gives me some sort of overriding power to complain, right?)
