Back from Mexico

Hello all!
We are back from our month long trip to Mexico! It was an absolute blast! Enrique couldn't believe that he was holding his first child. He never wanted to put her down! Of course his family is totally in love with her and everyone wanted us to stay longer. Only two more months and we will be there again!
Enrique has the pics on his camera so I will post them as soon as we get them on my computer.
We basically hung out in Chignahuapan (Enrique's hometown) and went around visiting family. Easter happened while we were there and I took baskets,plastic eggs, and egg dye kits down to Mexico so we invited all the neices and nephews over for an Easter party to dye eggs and the following day we hid candy-filled and money-filled plastic eggs so they could find them! It was once again a big hit (we started the tradition last year). Last week we spent the week in Mexico City. Huge city. We toured the city on the Turibus and it was amazing. One week in that city is definitely not enough!
Gabby had a fabulous time.She has grown so much this past month! She has found her feet,can roll over to one side, and holds her head up like a champ! She loved being carried in her Snugli on her daddy's chest as we walked around Puebla and Mexico City. She loves to be facing forward so she can see EVERYTHING as we walk around.
She also LOVES to talk back to people when they talk to her.
Nobody in Mexico could believe that she was only 2 months old when we got there. The first thing they all said was "Wow! Ella esta muy largo!" (She is so long!) and the second thing "Ella esta muy lista" (She is so ready/alive). Also,Enrique's nickname is Chirrisco (he got this when he was small because he smiled so much) and Gabby follows in her daddy's footsteps. Her nickname is Chirrisca. She has a great smile and is so good tempered.
We had a long flight back to the USA yesterday and she was a gem on the plane. One lady walked by as we were deboarding and she said "Your baby was so quiet. She is so cute". I have to get used to that. Everywhere we go people just shout out "Look at the baby. She is so cute!" Okay...bragging done.
Our next venture is ear piercing. It was unusual to people in Mexico that she didn't already have her ears pierced. Apprently they do it at the hospital.....
Okay...pics and videos coming soon. Love you all. Hope things are well!
