Little fish and the tadpole

Mason is definitely our little fish.  He loves being in the water and especially loves visiting the lake because we spend a lot of time in the pool.  He starts requesting the 'pool' from the minute he wakes up (which is usually much earlier than at home).  I'm amazed at how much his swimming improves each time he's in the water.  We finally found a good floatation device that helps him swim independently (with an adult very close by of course).  He has no fear and loves jumping off the side of the pool.  We'll probably do formal swim lessons in the fall, but for now he's doing pretty good on his own!

Here is Mason jumping to Grandpa Dee.  I have a great video of him and Breanna jumping together, but I'm having trouble getting it loaded to the blog.

And swimming with Uncle Lamar.  He's swimming all by himself with the help of his little swimmies.

Here is Mason and daddy going to the Chamblee Fourth of July carnival.  We ate ice cream and rode the Thomas train.  They had bouncy houses, but Mason decided he didn't want to jump.

And our little tadpole Matthew is 2 months old!  The time is flying by!  Everyone told me that 2 months was a big milestone and he really is sleeping much better and starting to smile and 'talk' to us.  I haven't been quick enough with the camera to catch a smile yet, so this is the best I could do.  His 2 month checkup went well and he is almost 13 lbs.  We love you little chunk - please don't grow up too fast!
