Playing in the water

Andre had a playdate with his friend Carson. We went to Lisa's (Carson's Mom) parents' house. They have a really nice pool with a big shallow, baby-friendly end. Andre and Carson had a lot of fun.

Andre loves swimming. I usually put one hand under his chest and he kicks his legs and arms - it's really cute, one day I'll get a video of it. Andre is also very good with holding his breath under water and he loves to do it. A lot of the times he goes under the water by himself, purposefully walking off the edge of the shallow baby end (but only when I am there to catch him). He can hold his breath for a couple of seconds. All ready to swim!
Let's test the water
It's perfect!

Andre had the hardest time staying awake while eating his breakfast yesterday:

Saying 'Jayhawk'

Andre recently started trying to repeat what we say. He usually gets the intonation quite well. See for yourself:
