Andrew has learned a new skill!

For the past few weeks Andrew has been working on his walking skills. He started out by standing up by the couch or the coffee table and reaching out, taking a step and then falling. Then he started taking a few more steps, three was about the limit for the last week or so. We have been working with him daily and trying to get him up and moving as much as possible. We use his mickey mouse truck to help him practice by placing it a little out of his reach and letting him reach for it, taking a few steps to get to it until he falls. Here is a video of him trying to make it to his truck.




Tonight, he took more steps than he ever has in his life! This next video we shot tonight, he made it all the way from the coffee table to his daddy :) He did this several times and we were able to catch it on tape - one of the hardest things to do!

Zac is Coming Home :)

And now for a post about me...

My hubby comes home tomorrow and I cannot wait! It has been 3 months since we left him in Little Rock, AR and he traveled to New Castle, DE to continue his training with the Air Force, while we moved to Worthington, OH to be near family. I am so happy that we are finally done with the training and he can come home and start to live a normal life again, and that our life as a family can go back to normal!

These past 3 months that we have been apart definitely had intense moments, but we all survived and it will be great that we can start doing things like a "normal" family once again. No more 8 hour drives to visit, no more "single"married mom, and no more living in a hotel room for him! For the next few months we get to live a normal life, until of course it is time to move again!

YEAH! Counting down the hours until he is home! For all of my fellow military spouses out there - you know what this feels like!!!!!!
