FIVE months old!

We made it home from our vacation just in time to celebrate Mitchell turning FIVE months old! We really enjoyed everything about our vacation...click here if you'd like to see a slideshow of photos.

Mitchell had lots of "firsts" on the vacation (some of which you have seen on earlier posts):

• Starting sitting up all by himself
• Went swimming for the first time
• First plane ride
• First time to the beach
• First time to sit in a highchair at a restaurant (Hard Rock Cafe)
• First drink of water - he couldn't quite decide what he thought of it, but it successfully entertained him in his carseat on our longest drive

As we were flying home, I was remembering my first plane ride to Orlando for a family vacation when I was in 2nd grade. I looked out the window the ENTIRE plane ride, there were so many AMAZING things...we were ABOVE the clouds, the cars started to look more like ants, inground pools more closely resembled puddles. Then, I looked over and noticed that I didn't even have my window shade open....I was so disappointed in myself and the boring adult I've turned into! I promised myself I'd try to see things through Mitchell's eyes in the years to come! :)
