Dimples

Hee hee! He's going to hate me someday for publishing this one. But who cares because it is so cute. Why don't bums stay this cute? Lane is all over the place trying to keep up with his big brother. He standing up to everything to see what is on the other side, fishing in the toilet, climbing the stairs and taking headers down them, and transferring between furniture already!

Little Teeth

Lane has cut his first teeth! The two bottom teeth are here! Two weeks ago at the cabin we noticed the first one. The second one popped up just a few days ago. He is doing very well adjusting to them, just the occasional crankiness, but you can't blame him, it must hurt. He is doing all these funny noises, I think because they feel odd or because they are sore. For a while he we were calling him Chewie, he sounded like a baby Chewbacca, it was awesome. New things happen everyday!

ISR Swimming

On Monday we started ISR Swimming. It is a little late in the year to start swim lessons, but this is when it worked for us. Zackary had NO FEAR last year and this year he wasn't quite sure of the water, even with Aaron and I. So we decided to start them and get him more comfortable in the water. ISR focuses on survival not actually swimming. By the end of the lessons Zackary should be able to do swim float sequence to get to the edge if he were to ever fall into a pool. He is doing so well, the first couple of days he wasn't sure if it but today he really began to be comfortable. Just 4-5 more weeks to go.

Lane is not liking it as much as Zackary. He is learning to float and not too happy with it. Today, like his brother was doing much better and actually floating on his own. It is pretty amazing to see what they can learn in such a short period of time. The lessons are 10 minutes a day for 4-6 weeks, not the easiest schedule for 2 little ones in the middle of the day, but it is worth it. The peace in knowing that if anything ever happened, they will know how to keep themselves safe.
