Swimming!

It looks like we have 2 water babies in our family!  Ella loves to be in the water, just like Cooper.  It's interesting to see that she who is oh so independent usually, prefers to be held in the water instead of floating around in her little ring by herself.  She also loves to climb in and out of the pool 900 times.  :)  Cooper can already jump in, pop back up on his own, hold his breath to swim under water, and swim to the ladder to get out.  He is still practicing coming up for air and beginning to swim again.  He has absolutely no fear of the water, which is wonderful and also a little frightening.  He is taking swimming lessons this week, and is loving every minute!
