A little life update

So far I've used this blog to vent... mostly. So here's an update on what's been going on with us.

Gryph- (he's the most interesting)
Last Sunday he got sick, his first real illness. For 4 days his temp hovered between 102.7 and 104.2, we went to urgent care twice (once doctor didn't even notice he was a boy!), and the ER once (they were very helpful). Jon and I have had to pun Gryph down every day, twice a day for the last 4 days to give him antibiotics...we finally realized it was much easier to put it in his bottle with his formula.
He is nearly 10 months old! Is crawling like a champ, and creeping around the furniture...he's been very daring and will hold on to a chair with his finger tips and reach out with the other hand to get to a table or toy. He's even stood on his own for a few seconds!!! Which is very exciting, but also very scary. Finally he's getting the hang of walking while holding onto our hands! To brag a little more, I think we played roll the ball for the first time yesterday.

Jon- I shared that he graduated with Honors last week, now he's in a holding pattern called T-Track. He's waiting to "class-up" and for his security clearance to come through. Hopefully they happen at the same time. Jon's made a really close friend Scass, who we have adopted into our family. Gryphon loves him to pieces, he cried the last time he saw Scass leave!

Me- nothing really changes with me. I love being at home, but am looking to explore our area and find new things for Gryph and I to do. I've made one really amazing friend, and a few other good friends. If it weren't for these people I'm pretty sure I would be insanely home sick. I'm growing into my role as a Navy Wife, a relatively smooth transition from Navy Kid. I've had several "Navy Wife" experiences, things I remember my mom and her friends talking about. Late night calls, running friends to the clinic with a sick kid, play groups, late nights laughing and enjoying a glass or two of wine, last minute baby sitting, etc. It may not seem like much to you, but it fills my heart!

The best news I have right now is that Gryphon and I will be able to celebrate his birthday in San Diego. We're going to be home May 19-27!
