Swimming lessons!

We started doing swimming lessons about a month ago at a local place called Silver Bear.  Since Jace is still so young, we do a "mommy-and-me" class.  The class is only 30 minutes long, once a week.  He is doing great so far and learning a ton!  They have him wear little mini flippers so that he learns how to kick.  He wears goggles when he goes under water too!  Every week, they have him swim longer and longer under water.  This week he will be up to four seconds!!  It's really amazing!  They also teach him a ton about safety....only getting in the water with mom or dad, how he can pull himself out of the water from the edge of the pool, and how to even move along the wall to the shallow end.  It's been so awesome!  I'm going to try and share a video on here of him swimming....but for now, here are some pictures that Chris took!  :)
