otto in the pool

even though my mom has a pool at her place and joe's parents put in a pool 2 summers ago, we kept otto out of the water this past summer. being born in may, i just felt too worried about the water and sunscreen and sunburns and on and on and on. but we knew he would love the water. he loves the bath, LOVES it and has since that very first bath. never a cry at all from this guy about being in the water. and he loves it. we started swim lessons a few weeks ago and he is hilarious. he likes to dunk his face in the water and then comes up sputtering and blinking, all smiley and proud. he knows to "jump" in at the count of 3, but usually gets so excited that just laughs and bobbles around and forgets to lean forward to fall into the pool. below are two short videos of otto in the water....nothing too exciting, but cute nonetheless.
