Cancun Mexico!

3.28.15 - 4.3.15

We had a BLAST on our much needed getaway with my family. 

The trip mostly consisted of Virgin Miami Vices (which we convinced my family are the best things from the bar!), laying by the pool, and eating chips and guac. All the brown people there loved Crew's white, luscious skin! They would stop us in the middle of the path and tell their friends and family to come se the "Bebe." He ate it up!
One day, we went site seeing around Cancun to Tulum and Coba. Our tour guide was Helaman who gave us our tour of Chitzen Itza last time we were in Cancun. He was great!! Talks through every ruin and backs it up with scriptures from the Book of Mormon. We had to take bikes and taxis to the ruins. Crew got hungry during the middle of the ride so I whipped it out!!! When in Mexico, right???
The tourists were allowed to climb all the way to the top of the temples! Crew and I watched from below :) Helaman also took us to a cenote called Techenchen-Ha (anything that ends in "Ha" means water) which is a water hole deep in the earth. It was clean, clear, COOL water which felt soo good after walking around all day. We had it all to ourselves. Crew was an angel the whole day and I was so happy I got to go!

My mom, sisters, and I were able to all get messages which were the BOMB.COM. We were pampered with the sauna and steam bath before.. even cucumbers on our eyelids and warm towels on our necks. HEAVEN! 

On the beach, Jill brought her camera so we could take some dreamy family pics. The wind was crazy but we were able to get some great shots and Jill worked her magic with photoshop so we all looked somewhat decent :) 

And on the last night, the girls got to go to the Cirque De Sole showing of Joya. Everything was extravagant. Even the path to the decked-out auditorium! I loved it!!!! My kinda thing for sure. 

Also... I found some way cute swim suit companies that I want to look into! Cavaricci, Phax, and Mali Touche. UUUUh huh!

 

Adios, Mexico!!! Until next time.. which I hope is very soon!

7 Month Old! Apr 3

Well folks... we're over the hill. 

7 months means we're closer to a year old now.  !!!!

I'm the mom so I can cry and whine about this till the cows come home, cuz ya know I will. 

But we are LOVING this stage!!! Crew is so entertaining. I get so excited introducing him to new things. His dad and I actually fight over who gets to show him/be there for what. 

His fun little personality is really shining through and it makes me love him even more! On a DAILY basis, Jaren and I remind each other that we have thee cutest baby ever. I'm not even exaggerating about that! We're all about that bragging stuff. He's getting bigger and bigger every single day.. like BIG!

Here's a recap of last month: 

- He's SQUEALing louder than ever when he's happy! Cutest sound in the world.
- March 11: GRINDS his teeth!!! All 6 of them. It's the GROSSest sound in the world. :) Gives me the willies every time.
- Has really good hand-eye coordination and can change blocks from hand to hand
- Crosses his feet with he sits. Just plain cute.
- March 17: pooped a LOG in the tub for the very first time! I screamed so loud that it made him cry! Then Jaren came in a fished it out, and we started all over with the bath. Crew didn't mind one bit :)
- March 26: Finally started sleeping on his side! Looks more comfortable now. Still sleeping through the night most nights! That's really nice when we travel.
- Still screams in delight when he sees himself in the mirror
- Mom started teaching sign language at 6.5 months. Mostly "more" and " all-done"
- He likes to use to his elbows when you buckle him into the cars eat... and it begins!
- Loves eating all kinds of food! But so far, the only thing he really hates is turkey with turkey gravy. It just sounds gross anyway.
- Crew took his 1st plane ride and 1st real vacation and 1st time out of the country. WOW! 

- Everyone in Mexico would literally stop dead in their tracks to swoon over Crew. Then they'd call over their wife/husband/family to look at him. Crew ate it up!! He knew he was on display. But it was like they'd never seen a big, fat, white baby before. SOOO FUNNY!
- Also got his first ever SUPER mild sunburn. Sorry, buddy! I lathered him up and kept him in the shade the whole time, too! He's got skin like his momma.
- Weighs about 20 big ones!!!

AND we can't get enough of him.
