He is adorable, my daughter loved her paci upside down. When she was tiny you could put it in her mouth the right way and she would flip it over with her tongue lol. It was so funny. She couldn't even crawl yet.

Oh, no, Binker's Mom, don't even think that. My son would be so upset. He is so raring to go! He'd switch to something else if he could just so he can get going.

Michimom I have followed your journey! I just read a while ago that another reactor is shutting down. That would give them one of the three, I think. They may finish their enlistment before ever stepping foot on a carrier or a sub!

Thanks for the update Jessica!!! I can't believe he is up to 20 pounds already!!! We sat behind you at PIR and and he was so tiny! Our grandbaby, Makenna, was with us...she is 13 months now and only 18 pounds...unusually petite in this day and age for sure...kind of cute to see her running around our house so tiny...so happy that you guys have settled so nicely. You'll have to post pics!

Binker's Mom, My son is in the same boat (ha ha) as your Alex, just a bit behind. He will be E4 when he graduates A school sometime in January. He just started his classes today! Gee, with the backlog, they may start Prototype around the same time. (Mine's an MM.)

Alex picks up E4 when he graduates A school on Nov 5th. Then he has to wait until January for power school to start and considering the backlog, who knows how long until he will start Prototype.

Hey,
Well I haven;t wrote here in awhile but a little of what is going on..
well we had a WONDERFUL 13 hour drive with a four month old to Virginia where my husband checked into his new command his squaudrom is on deployment so he is working the dead mans shift he missed them by just a couple of days. He will stay with his team for 87 days then go to C-school for however long that is. He wont be deployed untill 2012.. So we got us a place in Virginia Beach and it is so pretty reminds of home since we chose to live in the country part but yet only 5 mins away from the beach!! Well the baby is loving his daddy.. ( think he has turned into a daddies boy) he only reaches for him ... a whole 20 pounds he is the doctor said we have a big boy on our hands def. a football player or maybe baseball but thats weird comming from two short lil people lol well glad to hear all of yall doing good

My son is in San Diego and begins his first deployment today! Very exciting! I'm sorry to hear that so many are having to wait so long to class up. The wait has to be difficult. Unless as in Lala's daughters case there is a mall!
