About Us

Victoria, BC, Canada
This blog began as a modern "baby book" for our first child, Finlay, who was born in December of 2010. The recent addition of Seamus, born in January of 2013, has meant continued efforts to put into words and pictures his early years. We also use this forum to catalog our family life: two loving partners, two beautiful kids, car-free, child-centred, attachment-focused, with a love of food and health thrown into the mix!

Another Water Baby

May 19, 2013

Today, the whole family went for a swim at the Y.  This was Seamus' first swim in a pool.  We figured that he would probably be pretty comfortable because he was born in water and is loving bath time.  We were right!  Shay was super chill and smiling and cooing during his brief introduction to swimming pools.

Here we go!  He wasn't nervous but seemed very trusting and interested in what was going on.

He was relaxed at first and just laid back into the water.

Then he was smiling and talking about the pool with us.

He started to kick and stretch in the water.

He was also very interested in watching Finlay swim and splash about.

With all of that chub on him he did not get cold too easily.

Finlay was excited to see his little brother joining us in the pool.  He refrained from splashing around Shay's face and wanted to show the baby what a big kid can do!

So excited to take little Seamus swimming in London this summer.  I'm sure we'll be back in the pool again before then!  Fun!
