First Vacation as a Family of 5

We had our first family vacation at Lake Travis when you were 2 months old. We stayed in a little cabin and enjoyed various activities like swimming, boating, dining, and just hanging out with each other. I’ll always remember that vacation as a turning point for your relationship with Kevin. At the time, Kevin was 10 years old and was a little awkward around you. For example, you had started to smile occasionally and Kevin wanted to get you to smile at him, but he would get in your face and just stare at you and then wonder why you wouldn’t smile. We had to tell him, “Kevin, you have to smile at Connor or make a silly face and then he’ll smile back.” While we were at Lake Travis, Kevin spent more one-on-one time with you and began learning how to get more comfortable around you. At night, we would put you to sleep in your Pack n Play in the kitchen area and Kevin slept nearby on the living room sofa. So in the mornings, you and Kevin would awaken at the same time and he would pick you up and start playing with you. Your Dad and I started to see a unique bond form between the two of you, and it made us so happy.
