We went to North Carolina at the beginning of August for a week. We went to go see my Nana and Pop Pop and my sister Patricia. Everyone was just tickled by Alan and how much he had grown! Alan was 3 months the last time Patricia saw him and 6 months the last time Nana and Pop Pop saw him. He wasn't so mobile then! But we had a great time up there. Alan got to go swimming in the pool a few times and he also went to the beach twice! He didn't like the sand at first but once he got used to it's "shifty-ness" he was much better. He loved the water too!
Rocks and sand and shells were also his favorite thing at the beach......to eat. Yes my son thinks that sand is a delicious and nutritious part of a balanced diet. Who would have thought that beach sand was yummy?
We also got confirmation, while in NC, that our son HATES, and I mean HATES grass. He wants nothing to do with the stuff and will cry until you get him off of it. He even went to the point of sitting on the grass with his hands and feet up in the air so he didn't have to touch it with his bare skin. Crazy kiddo. But he likes sand....what a weirdo.
Alan also got a pretty nice "boo-boo" while we were up there too. But he recovered quickly. He had a chicken fight with the marble coffee table and lost. :( Busted lip, bruised tongue and cut gums later, he is still smiling! Got to love it. My little dare-devil boy just can't seem to let me rest for even a second. But boys will be boys right?
So "exciting" stuff going on with us now... Matt just took his 100% exam last week and he thinks that he did pretty well. Test results should be out sometime this week. But that was the last "BIG" written exam he has to take until he leaves this command. We are all very excited that he is done with that test! I have my last post-op eye surgery appointment on Thursday. Hopefully we get a "thumbs up"! They have finally figured out what is going on with my crazy body and have started me on medication to fix it and I go to see a nutritionist next week to tackle the unexplained weight loss issue. I find it slightly humorous that I had been "threatened" with a visit to the nutritionist during my pregnancy and before then and now someone is following through. Go figure. :) But hopefully this will get my back on the right track and get some healthy high calorie diet ideas that won't make Matt put on the same amount of weight as I am. That is going to be the tricky part...making 3 different meals at dinner time. UGH. That is all I have to say on that one! :) But other than that life is pretty calm. We should be getting orders here in the next month or so and Matt graduates the beginning of October! We are hoping for Washington state but where ever the Lord sends us is fine. Well that is about it for now. Hope that everyone else is doing well!
