Green Beans for Breakfast?

I have heard of having breakfast for dinner, but green beans for breakfast?  One morning I asked Abi what she would like for breakfast and she said, "Bean" with the sign she made up for green beans.  How funny is that?  I asked her a few more times just to be sure, and then I gave her some.  She gobbled them right up!  Then she wanted some banana.  At least it is healthy, right?

Abi has also just started putting words together to form sentences.  It just seems to come out of nowhere!  Just when you think she is not learning or will never be able to grasp the concept, she comes out with a gazillion new words and starts putting them together!  I really is amazing to watch.  

Abi has also started coming out of her room at about 4:30 am, climbing up onto the couch and sleeping there until people get up.  She doesn't want to miss Papa in the morning and wants to make sure she is a part of everything that happens!  Mark caught her sleeping before he moved her to her room.

She also went pee-pee on the potty the other day!  Well, sort of.  Let's just say she is off to a good start!  It will be off and on for a while as she gets used to the thought of it all, but the first signs have begun!  Another new phase for all of us.

Because there is water everywhere and Abi loves the water, we enrolled her in swimming lessons.  She did fairly well for the few lessons and now asks us to sing the songs for the movements so that she can do them in the tub and pool!  we will continue to work with her in the pool, but she is able to let herself into the pool.  She climbs in the side!  Fortunately there is a bench that catches her and she usually only goes in when Papa is in the pool.  However, we do have to watch her now!  It is exciting to see her get so excited about things though.  Too cute!  Now we have the opportunity to relive all these moments again through the eyes of Amanda!  We are blessed!

Amanda is as cute as ever and is growing like a weed!  At her 2 month appointment she was 21 1/2 inches and 10 pounds 1 ounce!  She is smiling at everyone and everything and loves to be outside.  She is developing quite the personality.  Here are a few shots of both our girls!
