Vacation? Yeah RIGHT!!

Hey my precious,

So we just got back from our trip to Mexico to see your "Mexican Family." :) Your grandparents paid for us to go there and see them for a week, so we packed up and headed out...Woo hoo! The morning we left we had to leave by 3:30, so because you are not the type of baby that can be moved from one location to the other without waking up, you were wide awake at 3:30. You would think you would fall back asleep in the car on the way to airport? Oh no! Wide awake and hyper.... :) Laughing and acting so excited as if you knew we were getting on a plane. Crazy!! You can bet my butt would have been snoozing if I had that opportunity!! :) You amazed us that day because until 5:30 that night, you were awake the whole time except for a 40 min cat nap on one of the flights. WORLD RECORD for you! 14 hours? How?? Crazy boy...

There is something about you being in Mexico that has us saying everyday, "Who are you and what did you do with our son?" I swear, you become this hyper little guy just full of more energy than we've ever seen. You are able to go all day without a nap, which is impossible here, and you eat like a HORSE!! I mean to tell you, you PACK it IN in Mexico!! I've never seen a child eat so much! You are literally eating every two hours or so!

We were supposed to be on vacation I guess, but your daddy and I were pretty stressed most of the trip. Your grandparent's house was like the WORST house possible to take a one year old in, much less STAY there for a whole week! :) Oh gosh....HARD tile floors, HARD tile stairs...VERY SMALL....lots of breakable figurines littering every surface around. Yikes!! It was a little scary for us, but you did just fine and your Grandparents were wonderful helping with you. I got to sleep in almost every day!! So hey, that was AWESOME!! One of MY favorite parts of the vacation! Hadn't done that since you were born!! We felt bad cause someone had to chase you around all the time since you are sooo curious and soooo fast! :) All in all, it really went fine and it was so great to see your Uncle Sergio, Aunt Blanca, your cousin Sergio, your Uncle Jorge Carlos and your Aunt Marcela....they are all so great and it was fun spending time with them. Your cousin was a little jealous the first few days but then he started warming up to you and you guys were really cute together.

We took a few pics of our time in Mexico.....even of your GIANT crib! Not sure when we'll get back but I think things will be a little easier with you next time. Thanks for being a good little boy.....I love you....
