Bouncing Baby


Finlay is getting to the stage now that it is unfair to leave him at the side of the pool while I swim with Heather. Heather loves swimming and often asks to go. So I had to devise a way to get them both in the pool single handedly. The best way so far is by using an old snuggley and having Finlay strapped on facing forward. It works really well, however they are both still a handful, and Finlay did get a face full of water at one point as I had to lunge for Heather, now that she is a little too confident in the water and wants to do everything herself even if the water is too deep. Thankfully Finlay is used to being dunked and still enjoyed the dual swimming experience he enjoyed kicking his legs and splashing his hands and I would often hear squeals of excitement as he watched Heather jumping around.

It was only a few days ago that I was thinking of removing the mattress at the side of Heather's bed......we never really needed it there, however......
One of Finlay's favorite things is to sit on Heather's bed and make himself bounce. One morning recently I was getting Heather dressed as she sat on her mattress on the floor and all of a sudden Finlay came flying down passed us!!!!!....Good job the mattress was there.....not that we need it for Heather ....but it obviously still has its uses!!!!!
He cried briefly, then laughed and put his hand to his head and then continued to bounce!!!!!
