Gabrielle Union's Daughter Swimming Underwater at 9 Months

Gabrielle Union's 9-Month-Old Daughter Can Hold Her Breath Underwater, and UM, WOW

You guys. I spend a lot of time on the internet and I'll admit, it's hard to impress me these days, but holy sh*t, did Gabrielle Union's daughter Kaavia James just blow my damn mind. The 9-month-old, who we know has been taking swimming lessons for months, can swim underwater. Like, she jumps into the water and holds her breath and everything. Yes, seriously.

In a video posted to Instagram by Gabrielle, it appears as though her mom is just as shocked as I am from the sound of her caption. "Like . . . Ms. Monica said 'Go!' and @kaaviajames just jumped off the step?!?! I don't know how to feel about this at 9 months old. It's wild and I've got permanent proud mama face!"

UM, SAME? Seriously, this baby is headed for the Olympics with the USA Women's National Swim Team tomorrow, probably. See the incredible video of Kaavia above.
