Proud Mama

I sent off a boy to Ft. Jackson, SC on August 12, 2013.. I got back a MAN... A SOLDIER! A few pics from my sons boot camp family day and graduation. It was a tough 10 weeks, but we made it through and he has made us all SO PROUD!! He will be gone for 4 months at his training (called AIT aka Advanced Individual Training) and then get his permanent duty station (hopefully some place close to home! Or at least within driving distance!!)

So here he is and some of the family! Back to business as usual and I will be blogging MUCH MORE!

 

 

We Interrupt This Post For A Special Update

Originally, I planned on a different post, but I will save that for later on tomorrow (Or today depending on what time zone you are in!)

Greyson fell yesterday (or earlier today if you are West Coast!) and busted his mouth pretty badly.. There was blood everywhere and I couldn't see where it was coming from. The more I wiped, the more he bled! I thought he had ripped the top of his lip and would need it sewn. That was not the case! He busted his TEETH on our dining room floor (we have Travertine tile and it is NOT forgiving..AT ALL!) and his gum was bleeding! It looked like something out of a horror film where the person starts choking on blood and it spills out of their mouth....Yeah... EXACTLY LIKE THAT, except it was MY BABY! I didn't panic (much!) and I had my friend drive us to the ER. They saw him quickly and did x-rays and determined he did NOT have any breaks, fractures or broken teeth (Thank God!)  BUT... He still could lose his tooth since their is severe trauma to his gum.. :( They gave him antibiotics as a precaution, so he doesn't get an infection. We can't let him chew on anything hard (HA, explain that to a teething 11 month old!) and we aren't supposed to touch his tooth at all. We will be watching him for the next several weeks to see if the tooth becomes discolored. If it does, it will need to be removed. Say some prayers for my sweet boy or send up some positive vibes for him please!!! 

Here is a picture from tonight and some others from this past week!

After I cleaned the blood up once we got home from ER

He has started climbing UP and IN!

He hasn't however, figured out the dismount!

About A Month Ago, This Happened...

Can you believe it!?! He is a TOTAL ROCK STAR at it now! He is attempting to run and only crawls if he is tired.. He has come a long way in a month. He turned 11 months old 4 days ago!! I can't believe my little man is going to be ONE YEAR OLD in less than a month! :'( Check back Friday for an exciting update!
