Gracie's New Trick!

Gracie just learned how to roll from her back to her belly! She's been able to roll from her belly to her back for about a month now, she just couldn't master the other. She's just getting so big, so fast!! It seems that Gracie is growing up so much faster than Cooper did!

Cooper is having a really hard time adjusting to Daddy being gone. We made a picture book for him, and he carries those pictures with him everywhere! I also made him a poster board of pictures of him and Garrett and our family. He also knows that Daddy's in Oklahoma (or 'homa' as Cooper says it!).

Our poster of Daddy.

I got to talk to Garrett today and he said that he's been pretty sick. He had to go to the doctor today and got 2 bags of IV fluids and some antibiotics. He told me that he feels a lot better now and was able to eat dinner. He's in his actual Warrior Transition Course now, the processing part is over. He calls it 'the other side of the tracks'. He says it's basically like Basic Training, so he's working like crazy! He managed to send me a picture of him in his new uniform.

He looks so handsome!

We used this picture to order Cooper a 'hug a hero' doll. It's a doll they make for military (and others) family to have daddy (or mommy) close in doll form. It's really neat...I'll post more about it when we get it.

I think that's the latest news, I'll write more later.
