February 2010

We were able to go on our family cruise. This time we went on the Eastern Caribbean Cruise. It was lots of fun as always. This time around my niece and nephew came with us. It was their first cruise so it was a blast seeing them so excited. Our cruise left from Miami. It was fun traveling to Miami since we had never been there. We had to transfer to a teeny plane in Tampa. We thought we were going to die... Literally. On our way back home the weather wasn't very friendly and our plane was shaking so bad it felt like we were on a roller coaster the whole way. My niece was really scared... We were ALL really scared. I was praying the whole time we were on the plane.
Other than the horrible 30 min plane ride (which felt like an eternity) our cruise was a blast! We went to a private island- Half Moon Cay (Bahamas), Grand Turk, St. Thomas, and Puerto Rico. Mylie didn't come with us (she was eight months old). We missed her tons. Grandma Debi watched her while we were gone and she taught her patty cake. She would sing and clap the song, so cute!
Our favorite beach EVER! Half Moon Cay, Bahamas. The sand was unbelievable... like powder, the water was crystal clear. Our whole family. I love this pic.

Mylie, exited to see mommy after 10 long days. I loved seeing her pretty face. It was the first time we left her. We missed her terribly.
We went to the Everglades in FL right after we got off the boat and before we went to the airport. It was pretty cool to see all those alligators.
My niece and nephew were brave enough to hold one.

The blue waters of Grand Turk
St. Thomas. It was great for snorkeling
I just LOVE her. One of my favorite people ever!

Our teeny plane. We could see the control room from our seats. The separation between the control room and the rest of the cabin was a small curtain.
We were taking the pic from the front seat. That is how small it was.
She was 7 months in this picture. She started to love to play and interact with other babies.
She started to smile ALL the time. She was always smiling everywhere we went. So cute!

She discovered how to talk on the phone. At 7 months she was smart enough to put the phone up to her ear or cheek and start jabbering.
We started feeding her solids at 6 months. This pic is at 7 months. She LOVED all the veggies we gave her. We are really grateful she is not a picky eater. Up to this day (20 months) she will eat anything and everything. You have to be careful because she might steal your food!
