Raising Watsons

Better late than never.  Mexico Part III – Nightlife!

Tucker spent some time at Grandma and Pop Pops end of the table during the Origins of Mexico show.  Clearly Tucker is completely taken by the story of the spoon in front of him.

On the other end of the table is me and the soon-to-be-parents.

not giving up my spoon for all your kisses Grandma.

Jacqueline and Peter are going to be great parents.

His hair might not be as dark as mine but we’re all eyes.

Dad is better than the best toy.

This is my favorite photo of the entire vacation.  I knew it was the second I took it.

End of the evening he was pooped (so was Grandma).

More pictures from Mexico.  Maybe we’ll have actual Christmas day pictures up before February.  Maybe, but not likely.

pool time with Aunt Catherine.

There was an island in the middle of the pool.  Great for warming up when his lips started turning blue.

All the pool excitement allowed for good naps.

Our little slice of pool side heaven always had the ipod playing

and Tuckers clothes drying on the umbrella.

I think these last pictures capture how happy our little Pisces was in the pool.  He couldn’t get enough.

Our trip to Mexico is going to take a few posts.  Mainly because we had nothing to do but take pictures, so there’s lots of them.  Also, we got a new DSLR camera for christmas (from ourselves) and this was an excellent opportunity to test it out.  Not to mention, Ben has gotten pretty good at touching up the photos afterwards.

This is part one of two of pool pictures.  Every day in Mexico Tucker would go swimming with Dad, Aunt Cathy and Aunt Jacqueline while Mom read pool side and took pictures.  There were large shallow sections where Tucker could crawl all around.  His other favorite thing to do was sit on the wall and jump in to Dad’s arms.

Okay, so Ben and I are still a little overwhelmed by life right now.   A week after The Watsons left The Hamilton-Friedel-Maloney-Yuscavage trip to Mexico happened.   It was one blissful week without internet or phones.  Wonderful for the soul but it left a heaping pile of catch-up waiting for us when we got home.

Tucker is growing and changing every day.  Since we last posted he has learned how to high five, give kisses and has started pointing.  Possibly the most important thing Tucker learned is how to get Pop-Pop to buy him something.  I think the look below explains it all.

so much for my green and brown nursery theme.
