fyi: i've used snapfish and photoworks and am EXTREMELY pleased with the quality of my pictures. low shipping costs too and better quality than walmart or target. plus the pictures are shipped in record time! i have my prints in less than a week (2-4 business days). thus far i have found ways to get 105 free pictures and have around 120 more to upload for free :) it is a wonderful world!


little bit got a new stroller. i LOVE it! i feel like i got a good deal. it was $20 (babies r us) and has a shade and mesh bag on the back (my only 2 requirements). b and i both like it thus far. the only drawback is it is kinda hard to close. you have to be careful or you'll pinch yourself. but it is so pretty!

atlanta was fun. the hotel was nice. the 1st room we were in had hair on the bathroom floor (lots of it--like someone was shedding). don't know how the cleaning service missed that but i called the front desk and 2 managers came up and moved us to a corner room which basically just gave us a lot more space. it was such a blessing though b/c little bit needed that room to crawl around. it ended up being a life saver!! we had a lot of fun. i LOVE riding around in a big city (although compared to nyc, atlanta is teeny). it makes me want to move to a big city. we ate at the varsity. i don't know if you've ever been but honestly it leaves a bit to be desired if you ask me. it is just a bunch of people yelling and throwing around greasy food. we also went to the world of coca cola. it was a lot smaller than i remember but it was alright. we got to try coke from around the world and lilt is AWESOME!! i drank 2 cups of it (little 4 oz ish cups but still). i would LOVE to buy some and have it shipped here (it is from great britain) but the cheapest i can find is $1.35 per can plus shipping. i'm not sure it is that good!

little bit has her 1st swimming lesson tomorrow. we're only going to one lesson but i just want to learn what i need to do for her so i don't think 2 weeks worth of lessons is necessary. plus, this lesson is private. i'm excited.

she had her 9 mon. check up yesterday morning. she was great! 50th ish percentile on weight/height and 90th on head circumference!! i was surprised about that b/c i don't think she has a big head but i guess she does :) it just means she has a big brain.

she has started a new trick--she's walking on her hands and the bottom of her feet. but she only does it for a few seconds at a time so i can't get it on camera. busy week this week with b being on vacation. looking forward to it!
