moble monster

welp...he was taking some steps and pulling up well when we left for Jamaica. Guess he learned a few things while we were gone.

He had his 9 month apt. today. In the 90's percentile for height and weight and just around 50 for his head. For real, I might have to go back to work just to feed this lil man.

last day

We spent most of this day hanging out by the pool and taking advantage of the waterslides, and ocean "sports" :) We took a glass bottom boat ride in the morning, got a hobie cat and rode the torpedo in the afternoon. The boys tried to wind surf...but you need wind and surf to get good at that:) In the late afternoon we took a cab to Rick's Cafe. They are known for the most beautiful sunsets in the Carribean. They also have cliff/tree divers. They are crazy. It was fun to watch. It was my full intention to jump off the 40 foot cliff, but I chickened out and only did the 15 foot one. So irritated with myself.
