I found Connor to be a 'tough' baby. He surprised me when he was happy as a clam in his life jacket on the boat. I find Noah to be a pretty 'easy going' baby. He, to my surprise, was not a big fan of the life jacket.
Funny how that works.
We all had a great time on the boat today though! It was a beautiful day. I was counting down the seconds until I had Connor home with me again (I kid you not). Once we picked him up, we headed to the boat ramp to meet Nana & Papa. A little sun, fishing, fast boat riding, and sand dollar hunting in the water was just what we needed.
This kid needed a distraction from his life jacket. The bait well always does the trick with kids.
Big man in a little jacket...
My sweet boy and his absolute favorite person (next to me, of course)...his Nana!
Papa set us up on a great spot where the boys could get in the water & it was pretty shallow. Within a few minutes, Papa discovered we were on a sand dollar jackpot!
C totaled 74 sand dollars at one point! He was thrilled to just keep picking them up and launching them in the water. We have quite a few bright yellow fingers and toes to show for it!
This kid was back to his easy self once the life jacket was off!
After lunch, Matt & Noah joined in on the sand dollar adventures in the water.
Like no surprise, once the motor was running on our way in, this little guy was out like a light in a matter of seconds!
Fun comparison...
Connor at 5 months old on his first ride in Papa's boat.
Noah at 9 months old on his first ride in Papa's boat.
Life jackets make great pillows.
Big thanks to Nana & Papa for a very therapeutic day on the water!
