Theodore hits the water

On July 18, 2010 when Theodore was 3 months and 27 days old, we decided to bring him to baby spa to try swimming. We suspected that he would love it since he loves using his legs a lot. While placed on the play mat, he prefers to kick rather than bat the hanging toys with his hands.

It was a fun experience as we watched him warm up, and then put into a neck float that looks like a strangling device. This place is called Baby Spa and he can swim, have a massage, haircut or have his parents shop there for him.


Theodore lasted 20 minutes for his first attempt, but of course it was also thanks to the staff there who massaged him while he became a little tired. He naturally kicked around, and turned round and round without any coaching. I supposed some babies would naturally know how to move around into water, although I saw some wailing while palaced into the water.

Tomorrow we are bringing him for his second swim, and am excited to see what new tricks he can come up with, although I think his actions might be restricted within the tub.
