Dentist

Anna had her first dentist appointment this week. It's pretty easy for children dependents to get into to see the dentist, not so much for adult dependents (me) I normally have to go off post unless 12 CAB is deployed.

We got the "no juice, limited sippy cup" lecture. I was frustrated at first, until I found out later she gives everyone this lecture. I told her several times Anna doesn't drink juice and she uses straw sippy cups. I know the time will come, but she's happy with milk and water, so why push it?! I think maybe everyone one tells her their kids don't drink juice, but no, really mine doesn't! All is well of course, no need for braces! We will go back in 6 months for another check up.








New swing set. We have to get an extension for Anna's swing to lower it a little, but this was taken the day Brian put it together. We also need to get a 'big kid' swing and a slide!

I'm a huge fan of the Vintage Pearl! These are fun new vintage alphabet charms they are now offering! The teal J is awesome! One day maybe I'll order an A for Anna!

Lots of good info about car seats! ...and a few photos.

I found out about the two year recommendation at our two week well baby. We *had* an amazing pediatrician, Dr. Flores, until the Air Force stole her from us! Dr. Mueller is a great doctor, but he's no Dr. Flores. We miss her dearly! I think I've blogged about this before. It's a super important issue that shouldn't be taken lightly! It's your child life!!! and I feel better knowing I've done everything possible to make sure Anna is as safe as possible while riding in a car.

Ginger, here's a stick.

October 2012

It's official. We're staying in Germany until at least October of 2012. Most likely we'll get stop moved by the next deployment, which means we'll be here until sometime in 2013. We've also decided to move...again. So we're looking for a new house. Wish us luck!

Today was sunny and somewhat warm. If you were in the sunshine, it was warm. If you weren't, it was chilly. I had to run to Post and to see a friend who had a baby, and my car said 47* as a high.
Still a little small for this one...


Jeep time!


My other baby!


The commissary was out of organic milk...so we went German (Bio means organic, and the 3,8 is the content of fat or 'fett' - which is closer to whole milk then say the 1.5)






We took the dogs up to the field to run. Of course this was around 2 so the sun was high and it was BRIGHT! yucky shadows.
















Rocks are fun!

Time to go home

67*

Yes. It was 67* today per my car. I'll take it! It was amazing. I wore flip flops all day. We ran errands and played in the yard. Later in the evening when I took these photos, it was getting a bit windy.

Anna tries to throw the tennis ball for the dogs, but it doesn't go very far. Then she wonders why they don't get excited and fetch for her.
