Little Boy Blue

We were able to go out and get some fresh air .... boy, it felt good to be outside.... so this is Kailer ready to head out.

The joy that you give to others is the joy that comes back to you.

"All Glory Comes From Daring to Begin," William Shakespeare.

...And that is exactly what Kailer has decided to do, he is "beginning" to become a little boy. Not only has he cut teeth, learned to crawl, started stringing together vowel sounds ("ba-ba-ba") but now he's decided it's pretty cool to stand up in his crib.

When we "caught" him standing up, I asked him, "What are you doing young man?" This charming smile with a laugh was his only reply!

Adios Mexico ... Hope to Return Sooner Than Later! :)

Heading back to the 'ol U.S.A. - first stop Houston, then Denver to see Uncle Mark-O & Aunt Jamie and finally home. Aaah, what a great trip we had! We hope you enjoyed taking our Mexico journery via pictures.

Last night in Mexico ...

Kailer, Mom and what looks like margarita in the bottle?!

Two very tired parents.

The Maylands!

Wait for it ... here ... it ... comes ....

NOOO, Mom and I do not want to go back to cold Montana!

(Kailer's new facial expression - cracks me up!)

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!

Relaxing on the terrace.

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!
