Learning new things!

Today marks the first day that Alden is actively able to swim without my assistance. Don't get me wrong, he's not lapping the pool or anything, but when I stand about 10-15 feet away from the side he's able to swim to me and then back. He also learned how to yell under water, he had a party under the water. THEN he decided today that he was finally going to muster up the courage to jump in the pool (as opposed to sliding in from the edge or using the stairs), shortly thereafter he was having a canon ball contest with 4 chubby kids about 6 times his size - haha. Oh boy, he's so amazing.
