Vettel's First Dance Practice

When Vettel was 3 and a half months old, I took him to freestyle practice. There were five other teams practicing on the floor. I was thrilled with the attention that Vettel gave me. What a boy!

Busy weekend - last weekend

Vettel had a very busy weekend last week, and Mom is behind with his blog. I really must teach him to do his own!

We started the weekend on Friday with a puppy visit to the vet where we learned that Vettel weighs almost as much as his  mother - 7.8 pounds. His legs continue to grow and people are constantly commenting on his "big" feet. We may well have the largest, but cutest pequeno ever.

Saturday morning he played in the baby pool.  If you do agility in Arizona, this is an important skill. Unlike his sister who went to the deck to dry, Vettel ran up the stairs and rolled in the dirt. Then he got a swimming lesson in the big pool.

Saturday night we had a rally fun run at our house

where he pretended to know the game,

and tried to influence the judge.

On Sunday he played with True, an 18 month old Corgi and then we went to freestyle practice.
On Monday, he slept!

He's all ears, but oh so precious!

First Swimming Lesson

Vettel had his first swimming lesson today, and did quite well. Jim took him a little ways into the pool and held him back, then let him go. He looks like a little otter swimming, very smooth and relaxed. He doesn't splash and holds his head low. It might take a while for him to go in on his own - we will see. He definitely knows how to get out using the steps. Will try to capture and post video later.

He also got to play with friends, two standard poodles and a border collie. He had a great time chasing and being chased by them.

A Day at the Pool

My son came down with his 2 dogs, and Vettel had a good time. The video is pretty funny at the end.

Run, Run, Run

Watch, but not getting in the pool!

Very tired after day of play.

New Toys

Aunt Cindy sent a bag of new toys and treats. Vettel's biggest problem was which toy to play with first.
