Hola Mexico!

Pierce, Halsey and I visited Mexico last week for our first international trip as a family. Halsey's cousin Grinnell got married in Zihuatanejo, a beautiful beach resort town on the Mexican Riviera. Pierce was an AWESOME little traveler, and slept most of the way out and back. He slept well while we were there--probably from his twice a day swim sessions--and enjoyed his time in the sun. We had him slathered in sunscreen, wearing a UPF swim shirt and a sun hat when we went outside. We weren't taking any chances with his uber-fair complexion. It was a great trip and we are looking forward to our upcoming trip to Aruba with the Bourques!

Right before the trip, Pierce had a couple of vaccine boosters, and the doctor was impressed with how big Pierce looked. We had an unofficial weigh in and Pierce is tipping the scales at just over 20 pounds! Our little noodle (long and lean) has worked his way into the 76% for weight. He loves his meals so much! It is such a relief to not be constantly worrying about his weight anymore. He is a healthy and very happy little boy!

Pierce must finally be getting his teeth, since he is drooling everywhere, sticking everything he can into his mouth, and chewing up a storm. His clothes stay dry for about the first 10 minutes of the day, and no bib can keep the drool at bay. It doesn't help that he is blowing raspberries and bubbles. Hopefully those little chompers come in soon!
