Bathtime Fun in Mexico!

Last Day in Manzanillo

For our last day in Manzanillo, we went to the market to do some shopping, relaxed and then joined the neighbors for an incredible fish fry. It was a great way to cap off our trip to the beach!

Goofy guys.

Kailer Learning To Crawl!

On January 30, Kailer transitioned from a "sitter" to a "crawler." So far he's successfully managed to pull his Einstein DVDs off the t.v. stand, pull a leaf off my plant and chase Mesa across the livingroom (which, by the way, she's not at all thrilled about!). "Yes," we know this is just the beginning!!
Enjoy the video - of a someone who went from being my baby to a little boy.

Doing all the tricky things it takes to grow up, step by step, into an anxious world.

Just being a cutie!

Snorkeling At Tenacatita

To add a little change to our scenery, on Friday (1/22), we loaded up in the car and headed to Tenacatita for a snorkeling adventure. This beautiful white sandy beach is approximately 1 1/2 hours north of Manzanillo. Dan and his parents had been here before, but this was a new adventure for Kailer and me. Dan and I did a little snorkeling while we were there and the rest of the time was spent enjoying the calmer waters, sunshine, pina coladas and shrimp tacos!!

We snorkeled out by the rocks - such a beautiful beach and a picturesque day!

"Dad, Jaws doesn't live out here, right?!"

We could definitely get used to this "beach bum" life we've been leading.

Two cute beach bums!

Other Things May Change Us, But We Start And End With Family

Dad, H-E-L-P ... girl cooties!!

Beautiful view for our dinner out.

Eternity Begins and Ends With the Ocean's Tides

Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone.

Okay, Kailer, here comes a big one!

Squishy sand between our toes!

He was intrigued by the ocean.

What the heck?! I swear my daddy said this was a nude beach?? :)

First mouthful of sand!

Daddy and his Mini-Me!

Aaah, serenity!

Pool Time!

Our first full day in Manzanillo resulted in some R&R by the pool and in the ocean. Kailer wasn't exactly fond of the pool on day 1, probably because it was somewhat cold, but by day 2 he seemed to enjoy it a little more. I'm hoping he will continue to love water, as I'm planning to enroll him in swim lessons soon.

"Well, Hello Ladies!"

Splish-splash!!

Okay, time to get out, Kailer had enough.
