Little Guy loves Swimming!

The baby had his first swim in the Caribbean this past weekend while we were in Mexico for great friends Keri and Jay’s beach wedding.

Upon arrival, we spent a few hours before getting on the beach while our room was prepared, etc. During this time I was enjoying the warm weather but really itching to get out on the beach and in those pretty turquoise waters! Until we got to the beach, the baby was squirming around like crazy. He usually only moves when I’m sitting quietly, but this time he was jumping around even while I was also walking and moving about!  As soon as I got into the water, he was tranquilo. I think he is catching already his Mom and Grandmother's love for the water.

Unfortunately on this trip, I also had a hard case of that montezuma’s revenge. Jose kindly called a Mexican doctor who identified some electrolyte drinks to help keep the key nutrients for me and the baby. Thankfully, this was only really bad for one day (photos of me in blue dress are in Miami last night en route home to DC this AM - at marking point of end week 22, more than half way there!) 

Since I’ve been feeling better as of yesterday when we left Mexico, the little guy has been moving around again – even though he’s been on a steady diet over the past few days of just electrolytes and rice! I hope the little guy wasn’t feeling bad too over the past few days, and that he was being his typical nice self and just chilling out to let me rest while I was feeling bad.

I don’t think we’ll do anymore travels by plane over the next months, but hopefully will get a chance for Mom and baby to swim again in some of the east coast waters over the summer months!
