Back Again

i'm back. :)
why did i leave? well, i realized that i was getting a little addicted to all this.
you know you have a problem when you are getting ready to go on vacation and you are spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out if you are going to have access to the internet where you are going and if not where you were going to have to go to get said access.
hello! you are going on vacation you nut case! you do not need the internet on vacation!!

and i truly didn't need my computer. as a matter of fact, i can honestly say i didn't miss it..... much. ;) we had a wonderful time at the beach. it was all very relaxing. the kids had a great time. i probably gained a good 5 pounds...... why does that always happen on vacation??

but enough about me. i know you are really here for bean and sprout updates!

*bean went down the slide at the pool. she was always too afraid before. she will do it now if someone is there to catch her at the bottom.
*bean let me pull her under the water in the pool. she did it without crying or any other kind of hysterics. floating on her back still freaks her the heck out though...
*sprout is getting better at sitting up. don't believe me? here is proof:(is that not one of the funniest facial expressions you have ever seen! he he he!)
*sprout took five 8 ounce bottles yesterday- FIVE! that is 40 freaking ounces. obviously we need something a little more substantial. he tried cereal today. he was incredibly interested (he grabbed my hands and pulled the spoon toward him!) but he was very unsure what to do with the cereal once it was in his mouth. we need some lessons in swallowing it seems....(the cereal looks kinda thick in this picture but in reality it was barely thicker than formula.... weird.)

hope you all had a lovely weekend!
