Swim and Eating

   Carson has been taking swim lessons for about a year now.  In the last three months he's really started to grasp the concept of what he's doing in the water.  Yesterday he did full 'bobs' (holding on to the  edge of the pool, going under and come back up) all the way under on his own!  The last couple months he would put his mouth in the water and then up to his nose, but yesterday was the first time he went over his eyes and then all the way under.  Once he realized he could do it he was a bobbing machine.  He's learned all the songs we sing in class as well and now is doing the hand motions with everyone else. 
    I'm also letting down my guard and allowing Carson feed himself with a spoon.  When he eats he turns the spoon or fork upside down and ends up dumping it on his shirt if it's not stabbed on the fork.  He's been showing a lot of interest in feeding himself so I got the bib on him (first time since he was just over a year old) and let him go for it.  It went much better than expected and he's learning to keep the spoon level, otherwise nothing gets in his mouth.  We still have a long way to go, but he's growing up! 
   On Sunday we went down to Owen Beach and Jason was showing Carson how to skip rocks.
