Cabo San Lucas - Lupe Wedding-

Cabo San Lucas.....
10.11.12 thru 10.14.12



One of Bill's long time friends (Troy) was getting married in Cabo San Lucas. Bill was in the bridal party, which meant ADULT VACATION! This was the first time Bill and I would be leaving Aiden. I was a little worried, but more excited to have a weekend of just US.

I was pretty nervous about flying to Mexico. I've heard horror stories. Our trip started out a little rough. I didn't get to sleep till 2:30am we had to be out the door and on our way to LAX by 4:30am. The flight was leaving at 6:35am. Luckily we planned ahead and had my sister stay over that way Aiden could sleep till his normal time and one less stop we'd have to make. We Ended up getting a later start than planned but made it to the parking structure in time. The shuttle dropped us off at the wrong terminal (because Bill gave the driver our connecting flight for San Diego instead of the lax info) Needless to say we ran down the terminal to the correct one, checked in, got into VIP boarding (the lady working the gate was so nice, thought Bill was Military) and loaded the plan within minutes to spare.

We landed in San Diego headed over to the nearest hotel had breakfast and waited the 4 hour layover till Mexico!

Once we arrived in Mexico it was seriously the most intimidating experience ever! People are yelling at you to go this way or that, drunks everywhere and the most sketchy shuttles and drive I've ever been on. I was slightly worried we wouldn't make it back to our SON!

Upon arriving at the resort i finally relaxed and realized everything was going to be smooth sailing from here on out.

THURSDAY
-We arrived in Cabo 3pm ish
-Had dinner on the beach with Jennifer and Troy the Bride & Groom. along with all other party members that had arrived.


FRIDAY
-6am fishing trip for the Groom and his Groomsmen
-I slept in till 10am (it was amazing might i add)
-Hung by the pool with Cindy (married to Chis a groomsmen)
-Had the Rehearsal, and then rehearsal/dinner cruise. That was incredible

SATURDAY
-Hung by the pool again (got sunburned) played water volleyball Cindy, Bill & I
-Had lunch and then got ready for one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen.
-Attended the Wedding and Reception
-The whole bridal party and spouses went into town to dance the night away getting back to the hotel at 4am


SUNDAY
-Farewell brunch to say goodbye to Troy and Jennifer
-Raced back to the hotel and just barely making the shuttle to the airport.
-Arrived home safe and sound to our precious baby boy!

The trip was filled packed with wedding stuff and it wasn't exactly how i pictured spending the weekend with Bill, but i did meet a new amazing friend Cindy who we share so much in common.

I was sad to found out that Aiden really missed us and had really bad separation anxiety. He wouldn't go to anyone but me for a week after we got back and would cry if Bill or I left the room. Putting him to bed was really hard, he would just cry and cry. Thankfully it only lasted one week.

Ten Months

Ten Months
Weight: 19lbs
Height: 29in
 
-Saying Mama and Dada!
-Seriously the happiest baby
-Has started to take TWO regular naps a day... finally
-Is quickly losing interest in bottles/formula (cow's milk here we come!)
 
Aiden truly is a joy in our lives, He makes life so much more...fun, loving, interesting, hard, and just better all around. He did so good on our family vacation to the river, sleeping was a little hard (sharing a room) but he was a trooper!
He's so funny because when he's done eating or drinking he tosses the container away like no "big deal i'm done with that"
But he did pick up a bad habit of hitting (swatting) away your hand or bottle if you try and give it to him and he doesn't want it. It has landed him in time-out in his crib a few times.
