Connor 5 Months Old

Connor is 5 months old! He has had quite a few "firsts" this month. Connor has been on 2 beach trips so far this summer! He loved his first one to Destin when he was 4 months and has gone again at 5 months to Grayton Beach/Seaside. We had so much fun with him along with my sister and Leah and her girls. Connor also had his first boat ride this month. He even has his own little life jacket :) We thought it was cute, but he didn't agree. The first time we put it on him he screamed! Poor thing couldn't move in it. But the next time we tried, he wore it and fell asleep on the boat. He got to see his first firework show for the 4th of July at Big Bay as well. He didn't think too much of that and mainly slept through it since it was so late. Connor also got his first pool experience! He absolutely loves the pool and chillin out in his float! He kicks and splashes and has the biggest smile on his face in the pool. It's so cute! We definitely have a little water baby on our hands! (Which is a good thing since we love the water!) He is loving his "real" food, too! He has tried sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, pears, apples, carrots, avocado, and rice cereal with apple juice. He loves the sweet foods, especially sweet potatoes.
