Wow I can't believe that my little girl is already 9 months old, she just makes me laugh and smile when I see here, and she has got so much determination that nothing can stop her from doing what she wants. In the first video, you can see her take a few of her steps, not her best walking but its what we could get on tape :)
In the second video she is trying to take her stuffed bear on a ride with the bumble bee, but she just can't seem to hold onto her and the bumble bee, but she never gets mad or frustrated... just determined... I like it!!!

My whirlwind life....
Okay so I will admit that I have been a little remiss in catching up with my blog but I feel as though I haven't been able to catch my breath since May. That's when I first got recalled, and then sent home and then had to try to figure out all the details that went with that. And then in July I got recalled again, but they worked with me this time. They offered me a little bit more flexible hours, working in Corpus Christi and I wouldn't be sent to New Orleans. Not really an option to say no (with a deal like that) so I have been doing that as well as keeping up with my Bay Area Fellowship job as well. Needless to say it has been tough, but I got a great support system down here.
So as you may or may not have know, my mom came to help me out with Jocelyn in May when I first got recalled and realized that she just couldn't leave when we got back to Corpus Christi, so she has been down here, watching Jocelyn, ever since. So knowing that even though I may have long hours, Jocelyn is being taken care of during the day, is a HUGE peace of mind. She has even joined up with my moms group and goes to playdates and workouts with them so Jocelyn can still see her friends :)
With all that going on, we have also found a little time to do some updating to the house, we have removed all trace of wallpaper in the kitchen and bathroom, and texturized and painted both, as well as the dining room. Yes they are all still works in projects but little by little I will get them done! (Pictures to post soon)
We have also done a trip here and there, the most recent being to Houston to visit Jonathan's family to celebrate their 35th Wedding Anniversary. The first party was cancelled due to my deployment, but the second party went off without a hitch and it was a great celebration of a wonderful marriage. Jocelyn also got a chance to see some of her extended family, so it was really fun to be able to see how much they doted on her and how much she instantly loved them!
Jonathan also celebrated his 28th birthday last weekend, and even though my plans fell through since I had to work a crazy Coast Guard weekend on his birthday, I did plan a Man Birthday with all his guys friends, consisting of going to the gun show and seeing the movie Expendables! He said he had a great time with all the guys so I guess that is all that you can ask for :) Oh but he did get his favorite dinner and his own personal homemade cheesecake :)
So I apologize for not catching everyone up sooner, and I will try to do better for you guys :) Love you all
