Water baby
Scott has been a water person from the beginning. When he was still crawling, we were at the river enjoying the sunshine. There was a very gradually sloping rounded gravel beach, which extended quite a way out into the water. Scott began crawling into the water as we watched, and knowing that as soon as the water began to get a little deep he would turn back, we didn't intervene. To our consternation, he just kept going, deeper, deeper, deeper, until he actually was beginning to float on down the river. At this point we were lunging for him, panicked that he might get swept away, even though the river was flowing quite slowly. Scott however, never did seem to mind or get frightened, water has always been a friendly environment for him. Cold water has never been an issue either; no matter what time of year it was, if we took him near an open body of water, he was swimming. We used to have an annual trip to Folsom Lake on New Years Day so he could go swimming.....brrrrr.
