My baby is starting to walk! He took his first steps last week, but he'll only walk when we make him lol. He's so cute. I have video of him, but can't get it to load up on here. He's such a joy. We have our Christmas tree baby proofed in a ghetto fashion. It's in the corner, behind a baby gate that has a big Army duffel bag and watering can behind it and a coffee table and stand in front of it. Whatever works! He's also getting his top two teeth, just in time for Christmas lol. He also jabbers constantly. My mom said I did the same thing lol. He said bye bye the other day and he says "up" for the puppy. He'll be 11 months in 10 days. How did that happen? I love him so much.
Eric's done with this semester of college, only one to go! One more semester and he'll be commissioned as an Officer and be back on regular active duty. I'm so proud of him, he's working so hard. He's still considered active duty and gets the regular pay right now, but I'm ready for him to be done with school. It's a lot of work. Right now, he's working on putting tile in our bathroom. I painted it yesterday and he's been putting the tile backer in. He's been wanting to do this since we moved in. It's going to be beautiful.
It doesn't seem like Christmas time to me. Not having my dad here to celebrate with makes it hard. Next month will be a year since he passed. On the 29th of this month him and my mom would have celebrated 30 years of marriage. I miss him. They say it gets better with time, but sometimes it hurts just as bad as it did the day it happened. Which brings me to ask, who says that and what do they know? Anyways, it's also Ryan's first Christmas which makes it difficult too. It's in the Lord's hands though, He'll lead us through.

Cute picture!
My dad has been gone 2 years and 8 months. I still think about him every day...
Only the pain gets better with time...the missing them part never really does. My mom has been gone for 14 years now and I think about her all the time...especially now that I'm a grandmother. I sometimes cry when I think about how she held and rocked her grandbabies and how much she would have loved to get her hands on Sawyer. I know she sees him and smiles, but I do wish that...yeah.
Our dog, Gus, is a grinner. He always smiles at us when we first open the back door after being gone or first thing in the morning. Well, I've never seen him smile as big as he does for Sawyer. He absolutely adores him. I know that once Sawyer starts crawling and walking that he and Gus will be buddies.
I can't believe your little guy is walking already...where does the time go??? Merry Christmas, my friend...and I hope the new year brings nothing but happiness.....:)
isn't it so fun when they start walking? Into even more now LOL I love their little toddling steps as they try to keep their balance too...so cute!
