MC Ball 09

Hey everybody, yet another Marine Corps Ball has come and gone. This one, which will be our last, was also sadly the crappiest. I was running around all morning doing color guard stuff, and then by time Yogurl showed up at the ball I had to go back to work doing more color guard stuff. Since we had a sitter and the ball was running behind schedule, we didn't even get to hit the dance floor. Then that evening I had to go back to work and return all the gear. Since I had duty the next day, and my motorcycle decided it was a good day to be broken, I spent that night sleeping on a faux leather couch and then woke up to work a 24 hour duty shift. Happy Marine Corps Birthday and Veteran's Day to me! Anyway, we can't go a whole post without mentioning our pride and joy. We bought her a swing after visiting Yogurl's sister who had one at her house. Thank you Craig's List! The swing entertains her and helps her catch a few extra Zs during the day. What a great invention. She is also slowly discovering toys and holding onto things. In this photo, her little plush bunny is the happy recipient of some gumming and drool. Earlier this evening we were talking about how our sweetie doesn't fall asleep when we hold her on our chests like she used to, and lo and behold while our home teachers were over, she fell asleep on Yogurl like she did when she was a much smaller baby. How sweet!
