Nicholas swims!

So the pool has been completed for about two or three weeks now, but we have been busy swimming and not posting the updates. Sorry! It is so nice to look outside and see a finished swimming pool and a sodded yard. No more mud. Brad and I (and other family members) have been swimming in the pool ever since it was finished, but I was afraid that the water might be a little too chilly for Nicholas. Well this past weekend I let Nicholas take his first swim. He is definitely a water baby! He absolutely loves the water. We have a cool turtle float to splash around in just like cousin Ben's. Enjoy the pictures below of Nicholas' first swim in the pool!

Mommy, Daddy, and Nicholas ready for a day of fun in the pool! As you can see, Maggie is also ready for her turn to swim. So far she has just put her paws on the steps, but I'm sure it won't be long before she figures out that the pool is used for more than drinking water.

Look at that big grin! Nicholas is having such a good time. He loves to splash in the little pool of water on the front of the float.

Nicholas did go face first into the little pool of water. He was watching his hands and decided to bring his face down to his hands instead of the other way around. He got a mouthful of water but just came up smiling.

"After a few laps around the pool on my turtle float, I think it is time to chill and take in some rays."

Nicholas was cracking us up with his arms propped up on the side of the pool. It was as if he was just relaxing with the ladies. It is a little too early for dates Nicholas!
