Dear Conor,
The second half of your first February vacation was to be spent with your Auntie Danielle. She arrived Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Saturday. She was going to be your Nanny while Daddy and I worked but Daddy had other plans for us all. He said that he was tired of feeling stuck at the house because we were so used to being on the go and that he needed a little break from the day to day. So, we packed up our things and headed to Portsmouth New Hampshire for a little rest and relaxation.
While at the hotel we did so much! The first night we had dinner in a fancy restaurant where we had to get all dressed up. Daddy wore his nice suit pants and a tie while Mommy wore some nice gray pants and a black shirt. Auntie Danielle also looked very nice in khakis and a button down shirt. As good as we all looked - we forgot to take a picture! You wore the outfit that you came home from the hospital in. After dinner I made some time and took you into the lobby to take a few quick photos of you at your first luxury hotel.

While at the hotel you went swimming in a pool for the first time. We went on Friday and on Saturday. Friday night you weren't so sure what to think. The pool as a little darker as it was night and I think you may have been tired. But, on Saturday morning you had a great time. There were lots of kids around and one other baby in the pool. It was much brighter as the sun was shinning and I think that might have helped make you feel more comfortable as well.

You were very well behaved at the hotel and it was not that hard to travel with you. We set up a changing area on the desk and we brought your Rock n' Play for you to sleep in. You did not cry that much (which was a huge change from just a few days ago) and we believe that it was simply good timing and that your medicine had started to work!
When we got home you spent a little bit more time smiling and loving on your Auntie before she had to leave.

| I LOVE YOUR SMILE! |

We were very sad to see Auntie Danielle leave and are so thankful that she was able to join us on our mini vacation. Because she was there your Daddy and I were able to relax a bit more, get a bit to eat together (without you) and have an extra set of hands to help with you and Hunter. Thank you Danielle for coming along!
xoxo
Mom
PS. Your dad was awesome and surprised your Auntie and I with massages on Friday morning - they were awesome!
