Jamaica update

Jim's out diving this morning with Vicki and Israel. The girls and I are hanging out at the house with their grandma (PoPo) and great-grandmother. Norah is napping and Lolo is having a great time running around the yard. (She hasn't mentioned getting in the pool yet this morning and we're not bringing it up....she ends up so prune-y from spending hours in the pool on "her step.")
Last night as I was feeding Norah, it seemed to me that she's been growing, growing, growing like crazy this week. She just seems bigger to me. After a couple of days, Norah has gotten used to the house and is napping on a more regular schedule, eating a lot, and waking up all smiley and sweet.
After a good night's sleep, Lolo is back to her cheerful, funny self. Lolo had been severely sleep deprived (too much excitement). Last night, she went down for a nap and slept from about 5pm until 6am this morning! She's been cracking us all up this week with her comments. There's a swing in the back yard that she was pushing one night. Israel warned her that she needed to be careful or the swing might hit her in the head. Sure enough, it gave her a good smack in the nose. Lolo cried and didn't feel better until the swing was "put on the naughty step."Also, in the pool, she's designated an area as her "outside bedroom", another as "Lolo's step" and another as a step where everyone else can enter/exit the pool.
The weather here is gorgeous. We've really had a nice time snorkeling, kayaking, and lazing around by the pool. So far, I'd say the snorkeling here has been much better than what we saw in Tulum last year. It's very different from Cayman - there's quite a large variety of live corals and anemone....similar to the Great Barrier Reef but not nearly as cold. And yesterday afternoon after a kayak trip in the bay, Jim and I saw 3 sting rays jumping out of the water. It was pretty amazing. The only "negative" has been the mosquitos. Incredibly, Jim has not had one bite. While the girls and I are pretty much covered up. The girls and I will probably be one large mosquito bite by the time we get home.
I'm still trying to upload photos, but am not having much luck. We may just need to wait until we get back next week.
