Water Baby

I wanted to share some pictures of my water baby. We have been going to the pool every weekend since Jason left and having such a great time. Of course I can't get any pics of him in the water b/c I can't leave him alone but I'm going to try and remember my underwater camera next time so I can get it wet. He loves the water and is really good in the water, maybe he'll be a super swimmer like his Grandpa Blubaugh.
He's my world and I know he's all I really talk about here but what else is there really?
Jason has called a couple times, he said he's busy non-stop, which means he'll want a break when he gets home and I'll want to go, go, go. :) That's how it always works when he's gone. Works the same, I'm going to take my Athletic training exam and if I pass I will work as the Athletic Trainer for a local high school.
So the last picture is snack time before we headed home and I thought he looked cute. :)

Has anyone heard Tim McGraw's new song "If You are Reading This"? Well it's amazing. It was sung at the Country music awards and I can't get enough of it. It's about a fallen soldier and it makes me cry every time I hear it. I am so proud of my husband and what he does for our freedom. Yes, I complain about him being gone but I am so proud of that man, he has no idea. I don't tell him enough, but who really tells people that enough? My boys are my world and I wouldn't do well without either of them. So if you hear that song, please stop and remember that those men and women who are fighting for our right to complain about the war are someones husbands, wives, sons, daughters, moms and dads. They are amazing people to do what they do. Ok, enough soap box, I really love that song. :)

11 Months

Oh my gosh, where does time go? Didn't I just have Brady like last week. How can my baby be 11 months old. Lets see, he's getting is 5th and 6th teeth, they are both through but just barely. We went swimming the last 3 days. Friday evening was fun but started getting a little cold by the end. The water is still cool, not bad once your in but Brady really doesn't want to sit in it.

He's pulling up on EVERYTHING and by everything I really mean it. He even tries to pull up on the trash can. Luckily for him, I clean it often. :) No really, he is wonderful. He climbs up on me and gives me kisses and big hugs. He's such a lover, when HE wants to be. He's all boy.

Jason left on Tuesday until July 17, does that day sound special? Well it is, it's Brady's 1st Birthday. UGH!!!

It's odd having him gone, you can tell that Brady really misses his Dada. Last night we were up until after midnight crying and screaming (Brady was crying and screaming, I just had a tear or 2). He's good today but you can tell that he knows his dada is gone.

He's not walking yet but does take steps between close furniture. He is so much fun and there is always something new. He talks all the time and his favorite toy is his tractor which he calls his dador.

With Jason gone we have a girl from work coming over to watch him while I work and it seems to be working out really well. He sleeps really well for her and just does so much better when he's at home. It's easy money for her and makes me feel better about leaving him.

So I think that's a good update and I sure need to be better about keeping this up-to-date.
