Ben's first time in the water :)

He's been really unsure about the whole thing, but it's uncanny how he is not happy until everything and everyone is out of the water just by instinct. I don't know how to embed this video... or pictures really.

How old is Ben? Mal had his first real swim today and he'll be 5 months on Monday. Very cute videos. It's amazing how the instinct just kicks in.

Awww, he's so cute. I have pretended to drown for Clifford and he ignores me. If I throw a stick, sometimes he will go get it, swim a foot and drop it before swimming back to shore. I think Ben has much better instincts.

Thanks - I'm pretty proud of him. He's actually 7 months old, so we waited a while for the water. By day 3 he is quite good! No splashing, conserving his energy on long distance and he swims much better than I do!

He really wants everything out of the water - very disturbed when boats go by. He barks "What are you crazy?? Get out of there!" I thought he was going to jump in after this couple in a canoe to save them the other day.
