Mexican Adventures...

We were getting ready for our week long, fun (and wedding) filled vacation in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico! Aiden decided to help us pack for the trip! By help us pack I mean he crawled all over the luggage and lovingly took pieces back out of the suitcase after I packed them. I didn't get any pictures of him removing the clothes because I had to pick them up, but I did get some of him climbing all over his bag with the toys in it. He knew they were in there but couldn't quite get it open!

Okay mom, I know those toys are in here!

OOH! Maybe I can open it here!

Is this a joke?

This marks the beginning of Aiden's traveling days! He is not even a year old and already has a stamp in his passport! For his first flight we were a little worried about how he would act but we were AMAZED at how good he was! He slept the whole time on the way to Dallas. Then on the way to Cancun, we had quite the spread to keep him entertained! We got lucky on this flight because there wasn't anyone sitting next to me so we had a free seat for Aiden! He was so cute!

I propped him up with pillows so he could sit like a big boy on the plane! Notice all of the toys suction cupped to the tray table! We also introduced him to Puffs and Yogurt Melts this trip and he loved them! They are baby snacks that dissolve quickly so babies don't choke! You can see one in his mouth!

Such a big boy! He was the plane favorite! All the passengers loved to come say hi to him!

Especially this super sweet flight attendant! Aiden kept peeking his head around the side of the seat to look at her and she had him giggling and smiling so big! She asked if she could take him to the front of the plane and he got to say "Buh-bye" to everyone as the left the plane. Then she came back and got our camera and asked if she could take him to the cockpit!!

Captain Aiden Engles doing pre-flight checks! Look how cute with the pilot's cap on!

The captain has turned on the seat belt sign! What a lucky boy to get to sit in the pilots chair AND get a picture of it on his first flight! Thanks lady!
