{Embrace} the Camera Guacamole, Margaritas and a 5 month old.

This post is the blogging version of multi tasking.

And before you go all nutso and call child protective services on me, please know that I did not feed my child guac and margs. Rather the title sums up the craziness of the past 2 weeks. I, on the other hand survived on a steady diet of coffee, guac and margs for 8 days straight. Bliss.

Last winter on a cold icky day I wrote this blog about my intense need for a vacation. Well that very same night we wound up inviting ourselves planning our Mexication with my inlaws. This little getaway has been the carrot dangling in front of me for the past 8 months. And it was everything I hoped and needed it to be. Ahhhhhh Mexico. Love me some Mexico.

This location is extra special to us because it is where we got married almost 5 years ago. (Uhm I can't find any of our wedding photos right now.....yikes.)

I think several friends thought we were crazy for taking a 5 month old to Mexico but she was a dream. She loved flying so much that she just sat in my lap and smiled.  She had 4 people at her beck and call day and night for 8 days. And she loved every minute of it. She played in the baby pool, went down to the beach and took lots of strolls in the BOB. She got to spend some much needed time with her Grammy and Grandad Good while her mama and daddy got some time together: runs, pool time, strolls on the beach, margs at the adult only (translation "blue hair") pool. It was heaven. Mat treated me to an entire afternoon at the spa. Alone. While he had a dance party with Campbell. We're talking a wrap, massage, facial, vichy shower  & pedicure. Heaven on earth. It was so wonderful I almost cry thinking about it.

As far as a 5 month report, you should know that we've got the following going on at the Good house: LOTS and LOTS of babbling, tons of smiles and giggles and for the first time today at the PAT play group - SITTING UP ALONE. Holy moses my baby is growing up. Next thing you know she'll be walking across the stage at her medical school graduation. Or law school. whatever.  There is no official 5 month photo shoot this month since Mexico was basically a week long photo shoot for her.
