Gavin'and Griffin's progression

Gavin has really progressed over the last COUPLE of day. At the beginning of the week, he would only allow Matt Matt and Daddy to toss him as long as his head didn't go under the water. He won't let go of anyone with just his floats either. By the end of the week, he was jumping off the steps of the pool and going under water all by himself with just his floats.

His greatest accomplishment happened the last couple of minutes of swimming on Sunday. He jumped off of the side of the pool. So cool for him.

Matt Matt taught Gavin how to doggie paddle and kick his legs back to the stairs. Kerry was doing back flips off of the stairs and Gavin decided that he could too. Gavin basically jumped to his back and put his head under the water. It is so great. Daddy likes to throw him over his head and then he flops in the pool. Gavin loves it!!

Griffin made progress too. He learned how to blow bubbles in the water. He sometimes gets a drink from the water at rare times but he does know how to do it. The coolest thing is he learned how to float on this back. He was a little scared at first but then he relaxes. He even fell asleep on Sunday. Kicking his leg is so adorable to watch as well. He just kicks them straight down in the water. Too funny!!!

We can't wait to go swimming again next. Next time I hope to get a video of Griffin.

Thanks Matt Matt for all the lessons.
