Tough guy

Farewell Puerto Vallarta!

Just a few last videos and photos from our trip, and then we'll be back to the present tense.











Hasta la vista, Mexico!

Anniversary day (and Jasper turns 2/3 year old)

In the real-world, Jasper turns eight months today. On the blog, we're still on the penultimate day of our trip, which was also Mummy and Daddy's anniversary. We discovered this lovely oasis in our hotel and enjoyed it quite a bunch.

Day 4 - Daddy's big adventure

Daddy went up, up, up into the sky on Day 4! And more exciting videos.
















Being on vacation exhausts everybody ...

PV, D3

Sunday we really got our bearings, and luck was on our side -- we got a bed in the VIP beach club. That meant we had room to stretch out without worrying about any babies slipping through the crack between us.

Most of the remaining pictures involve Jasper sleeping. What can we say, we think our baby is cute when he sleeps.

Puerto Vallarta, Day 2

We hit the beach -- or, the beach chairs, at least -- for the first time on Saturday. But first things first ... breakfast seems like a good place to start. In fact, check out Jasper's reaction to the uncanny cat noises made by our waiter, Abraham ...




Okay, NOW the beach ...




Bill Cosby used to call this a "zerbert" ...




And a few more pics from Saturday for your viewing pleasure ...

Puerto Vallarta, Day 1!

Hello everyone! Sorry for the long drought, but we were in Puerto Vallarta from last Friday to this past Wednesday. And our excuse for not posting something since Wednesday when we got back ... content overload!

Yep, we took a ton of video and pictures on our trip, and so we're going to post a couple of each, every day, until we run through the greatest hits of what we have. We'll try to go for more or less one day's worth of photos/videos per one day on the blog, which should keep us occupied until about Friday.

Without any further ado ...

Jasper's day of excitement in the airports and airplanes (he was very good and beloved by all) leads to a crash nap as we're taken to our room at the Marival Residences ...




... but he's awake and perky soon afterward ...




... and really enjoys his new king-sized bed.

Jasper at Chuck E. Cheese

Jasper's friend Jake -- well, they'll be friends once they're old enough to be properly introduced -- turned three last week, and to celebrate, had a party at Chuck E. Cheese this past Saturday. Jasper was mostly a bystander, but he did get involved in a couple ways ...

Swimming lessons!

Not long after we moved into our new place, we noticed that there were a very large number of happy parents and children congregating around the front door of our across-the-street neighbors. After some sleuthing, Mummy discovered that the woman who lives there gives swimming lessons to babies. Sound crazy? Nope -- you get them accustomed to water now, they won't fear it later, and more importantly, will be able to stay calm in potential water-related emergencies.

Now that the weather is getting warmer and Jasper is more than seven months old, we inquired about enrolling. The price was very reasonable, so Friday was our first class of six -- Daddy has gotten permission to take a long lunch every Friday so he can come too. We think we just may have a water baby here ...
