within the last week

really?

has it been a full WEEK since i have blogged?? where has this week gone???

time is flying and it's been a busy one here at the Hufford House with July 4th festivities and.....

lots and lots of swimming.

we have really been working on swimming this summer and our first official swimming lesson hasn't even started yet (it will next week)!!

a few weeks ago jonah was a little timid getting in the pool. i knew it would take a little time for him to get used to swimming again.

however, within this last week jonah has really gained confidence in the pool and has even been swimming underwater (in the shallow end) really well (don't worry, he wears a life jacket in the deep end).

jordan is more confident too in her little swimmies (which makes her look like a linebacker in a "kini" (coined by her cousin natalie, it means bikini)!) haaa!

jonah is no longer afraid of the diving board and jumps off countless times each time we visit my mom and dads (on july fourth he literally jumped off 100 times)!!

I love this iphone pic of him jumping off the diving board at his cousins' pool last week. It is higher than my mom and dads but it didn't phase him.

And speaking of higher...

It's nice to have my cousin next door to throw all the little kids in the pool! (these pics are of jonah and his cousins)

Yeah, i'd say within a week my boy has found a new level of confidence in the pool. it's so much fun to watch.

I hope your 4th of July was wonderful and you are watching wonderful memories unfold this summer!
