Ryder's First Swim

Are you getting tired of Ryder's firsts? Well, tough. He's a big deal in our lives, and we enjoy every new thing he gets to experience. This last weekend was the first time he got to go swimming! Can you believe it took us this long? I know! US?! But it's the first opportunity we've gotten to swim since he's been old enough to go.

He really liked it, but he was suffering from chronic need-to-nap syndrome, so the pictures capture him in a less than thrilled state.

Later Nick took him over to the beach area and let Ryder play in the shallow water. It was so precious, I wish I had gotten a picture of them. I'm sure there will be many more swimming experiences to come; Nick's talking about getting a pool. Plus, Ryder's birthday is coming up, and we've already planned a party including water activities. Looking forward to the next swim!
