Roller coaster

Well, our second attempt at taking lilSGT on a kiddie ride at a fest wasn't as successful as we'd hoped. Our logic was that if one of us was on the ride with him, then he'd be more OK with it. Poor guy. And what awesome parents to document his terror, right?!

I'm not seeing EuroDisney in our near future!

P.S. Thanks to Rachel for pointing out the (very) obvious to me, and for not even making fun of me! The pictures still aren't what I was expecting, but at least you can make them out now.

Bweeto!

I have to say that this is the funnest age with my guy! In the last month his vocabulary and pronunciation has changed a LOT, and daily there are surprises and exclamations over things he says that we've never heard before. The other day, SSGT was wrapping him up and calling him a burrito, and every time he unrolled him, "Bweeto!" was shouted with urgings to do it again! Very cute.

I've been fairly productive on the sewing front, and I'm really excited that my motivation has stuck around for more than a day or two (we're going on over a half a year, I think!) and can only hope that it sticks around long enough for me to finish all these project hopes I have in my head (and my bookmarks, and blogroll, and oh dear I've embraced pinterest, and geez I hope I stay forever motivated!). I'm looking forward to August being over so I can share my current works, but I'll try to take some pictures of other projects I've got going to share.

In the meantime, BWEETO!

Whatcha got?

A toddler.

Words fail

Wouldn't you know it, the night before SGT T comes home I get about 3 hours sleep and am therefore an emotional wreck when he arrives? I bet you didn't know I had it in me to shed such emotionally joyful tears, did you?!

We also made many bystanders cry. I guess we just have that kind of impact on people. It was pretty great, after the hour delay for his flight to get in, to see SGT T. And by "pretty great" I'm "pretty sure" I'm making the biggest understatement of all time. But really, how can you put something like this . . .

. . . into the right kind of words?

Countdown for reals

What do you wear to the airport to pick up your husband when you are one month postpartum (ie you can't fit anything but your sweats) and haven't seen him in over 7 months? We'll find out tomorrow!

How's this for keeping my blog up to date?

The highlights:

- Had baby on Friday (8/7/09)
- Turned out the ultrasound technician needs to go back to school - Chili turned out to have a penis and NOT a vagina meaning his blog name will be lilSGT instead
- Mom and baby are happy and healthy, though still working on some high jaundice numbers
- SGT T was able to be on Skype for the entire labor and delivery, causing several nurses and one or two doctors to cry
- lilSGT is most likely the cutest baby in the world - said with a completely open mind, I promise :)
