8 Months Old Swimmers

The boys are officially 8 months old! Not much new to report that we haven't already posted. Still no teeth - although some days one or two of them are grumpy until you give them a cool teether. Still no "official" crawling - although Alex has shown great promise! He gets up on all fours, rocks back and forth and maybe goes forward one movement. (Unless of course you turn on the camera - then he just rolls and smiles at the camera!) We're willing to say he's crawling, just not an expert. They do move fast though. If they want to, they can be all the way across the room in 3 seconds. Hopefully a brother wasn't in the way or he would be rolled right over! They are all able to sit up by themselves, although Logan still isn't as sure about it.

We did take the boys swimming for the first time today! We went to my Aunt Barb's house and used her pool (thanks Barb!). It was a little cool at first and they weren't really sure what to make of it, but they eventually had a good time. Well, at least Alex and Logan did. Nick was getting sleepy and wasn't too interested. He just wanted to be put down for a nap. Logan was typical Logan. We put him in one of the baby floating devices (which had a bit of an incline so he could lay back) and he did his typical... hands behind the head.





For their first time they did pretty well. Nick was much happier when we dried him off and let him sleep. Don't they look so cute sleeping!

Both Alex and Logan went under the water (purely supervised of course) and didn't care much for it. Who can blame them! They did enjoy splashing and grabbing for the bubbles in the water. All in all, it was a good experience and I look forward to more swimming adventures. Maybe next time it won't be during nap time!
