Back From Ecuador and Gunner Sits and he Eats!

We had a terrific time in Ecuador. I traveled all around the country seeing different bases and talking to pilots while Mike saw a lot of Quito and the surrounding areas. He played, I worked. Standard. It is a gorgeous country! We also got to spend a few days in the Galapagos islands. There are animals and birds everywhere! It was amazing! We're happy to be back with our little boy though.

Mike wants to be a tortoise.

Gunner had a fabulous 10 days with his Grandma. She took such good care of him and she taught him how to sit up all by himself. He also grew about another inch and gained almost 2 lbs! We knew he had a growth spurt coming. He had his first taste of a vegetable today--yams. He made some funny faces initially, but he gobbled it all up. The kid is not picky. He is also getting close to crawling...he's up on all fours these days. It won't be long.


Gunner likes to drink from a cup!Yams, yum!
