All about David

David is growing and changing and developing so quickly these days I want to keep updating the blog to show all of you how he's doing......

David has a very funny habit of covering his head when he sleeps.  No matter what position we put him to bed in we always find him with his blanket over his head.  This is what we found the other day.  It made us laugh.....

So we used it for a photo opportunity :-)
This is evening play time with Daddy.  I can't tell who is having more fun.....
This is day time play time.  PRECIOUS little boy!!!

5 Months Old

It's been a big month of developments for David.  He is now sitting up (albeit wobbly) by himself and he got his first tooth (with the second one showing signs of making it's appearance soon)!  He continues to amaze and delight his parents.  He is still sleeping well (8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every night) for which we are VERY thankful and he is getting very big!  I've posted a few pictures for you to enjoy:

He LOVES his thumb!!
And he LOVES his toes!!  Especially in the tub.
David continues to go to the Child Development Center on base two days a week when I have to work.  He really loves it and he comes home with all kinds of new tricks :-)
We recently had a fun visit from Tio Tyler and Tia Gaby and AJ and Austin.  This is Tim and Tyler comparing "lifting" techniques :-)
This is David sitting on his own.  Yes he is blurry because he's wobbly....at least he's happy!!!

Happenings

It's been a while since I've updated the blog.  We have been enjoying our time together as a family and gradually settling into some kind of routine.  David has been growing like gang-busters    :-).  He is now eating cereal and is rolling over back to front (I'll post video of that soon).  He has fallen completely in love with his daddy and Tim never fails to get a smile when he walks into the room where David is.  David has even been known to burst into tears when Tim leaves the room.  It is all very sweet!  I've posted a few random pictures:

We will continue to keep you updated via the blog but for now we are going to spend the next two weeks just enjoying each other's company again.  We are so thankful to be together again!!

BEST NEWS EVER!!!

For those of you who haven't heard TIM IS ON HIS WAY HOME (for good)!!!!

This is what he wrote right before he left Baghdad after a brief weather delay.....I'll let Tim speak for us:

Weather looks pretty good now.  I can see the half moon and the winds are calming down.  Saw the final sun set on Baghdad...white round sun through the sand.  Great sight for these young eyes I can tell you.

Planning on walking to terminal in the next 3 hours.

Should be out of Iraq in 6 hours.

Should be out of SW Asia in 25 hours.  Should be in the US Tuesday
night.  Home Wednesday afternoon.

Tell David to get happy.  Daddy is coming home!

Love Tim

Happy Father's Day Tim!
