Adios Mexico!

Well, we are back from the sunny warmth of Puerto Vallarta.. and we're already freezing. We need a vacation!
We are pleased to announce that the baby did STELLAR en route to and from Mexico, as well as in Mexico. Everyone loved him and paid him lots of attention. Most importantly for us, he was welcomed in every bar we patronized! He was a little scared of the ocean, but was a champion swimmer. Like his mama and yia yia, he preferred the warmer temps of the spa vs. the cooler waters of the pool.
We have learned a fairly valuable lesson: buy baby his own seat. We were lucky enough to get a seat for him (gratis!) on the way to Mexico, and he slept fine and we had ample space. However, the flight was jam packed coming home so we had to hold him. Luckily, he did well, but the space was cramped and it was harder to get him to sleep. But he is an awesome little traveler!
Here's a pic of da family before going out in the marina in Mexico. I shall regale y'all with more details of the trip (including the nanny whom we fired within an hour of hiring her!) soon.

Baby Has No Idea... He's About to go to Mexico!

It's true.. at the last second, and with Mike's work schedule somehow allowing, we are escaping for a week to Puerto Vallarta in Mexico! We will be joining my mom and Bob at his condo. We look forward to the tequila and my mom looks forward to babysitting Cole (as well as babysitting the tequila!). It has been pretty darn cold here so we're ready to overcome inertia and bring baby on his very first plane ride... Wish us luck!
Here's Cole learning how to eat finger foods. Big Boy!

Cole Ouimette Is SO Hot Right Now.. Cole Ouimette

We've decided that Cole is just tooo cool for school; hence, we plan to keep him out of it until he's 3 years old or so. Cole was hanging outside with his mom and dad while they spent all day tearing how vine roots from their front yard. 'Twas a glamorous time! Amazingly, Cole doesn't seem to mind these sunglasses! Mike and I took him swimming at the club yesterday and he wore them without complaint! Now, we just have to get him a leather jacket and a helmet, and he'll be ready to accompany Uncle Sky on his motorcycle.
