My first trip to Mexico!

We took Reece on his first vacation to beautiful Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The first Matt in mommy's life had a destination wedding. It was a wonderful vacation spent with friends. Reece was a social butterfly and enjoyed all the attention.

Can you tell how much I enjoyed my first experience on a boat?

Luckily, my buddy Andy saved me ;)!

At the beach!

Checking out the ocean!

I loved the pool!

The reason for the trip...

What a beautiful bride, handsome groom, and sweet ceremony!

Dancing with my girlfriend Liz in the discoteca

Sleeping off my first fever.

At least it made for an easier trip home for mom and dad.

A few videos for your viewing pleasure...

Bath time!!

~9 months, at the pool in Mexico

Baptism

Being the bad parents that we are, we didn't have Reece baptized until he was 5 1/2 months. He was very well behaved and even provided a few laughs.

Go Hoosiers!!

Reece is becoming quite the IU fan, just like his daddy! (Please ignore the off-key singing in the background)

Teeth!

Reece cut two of his bottom teeth recently. We didn't even know the first one was coming in until he bit my finger one day. The second came a few days later, and it seemed to bother him more, just a little more fussiness than usual. The drooling and chewing on anything he can get his hands on continues...

Babbles and Giggles

Our little man is quite the vocal baby. He loves chatting and giggling during the day. Hope the videos bring a smile to your day.
