Well seven days in the Mayan and we are home! And not a moment too soon. Before I start sounding ridiculously selfish and spoiled I should probably let you know that travelling with a baby eliminates the word relaxing and vacation! Al is an exceptionally good boy but even under the best of circumstances babies will reach their limit! It was hot, very hot, and that is hard for a baby who has to be held all the time (skin to sweaty skin). On top of that he is too young for sunscreen so he was forced to stay out of direct and indirect sunlight. I don't know if you have ever been to mexico, but aside from staying in your room 24/7, staying out of the sun is next to impossible. To top it all off, the saving grace we were hoping for was the swimming pool, but unfortunately it turned out to be ice water. He actually bawled when we tried to dip his toes in the pool. This poor kid can't catch a break when it comes to swimming pools and vacations! Without elaborating too much more there were a whole slew of other minor issues that all added up to a long and challenging week. I think it is safe to say we will not be returning to a resort for a LONG time!
I am happy to be home to my dogs, my house, my morning coffee, my usual shows on TV, Al's toys.... everything! While we were gone Al figured out how to sit, on his own. Not without a few spills but it is still a milestone. We are starting food (peas will be first) sometime in the next few days, and I am thinking its time to start weening. Big things are happening. We have appointments, classes just basically busy busy!
Here are a few shots from our week in Mexico
