This day ten years ago I was in first period of weight lifting class, about to be dismissed for Anatomy when the twin towers were hit. I remember Coach Wimberly coming into the gym and saying that New York had been hit by a terrorist plane attack and we all ran into the coaches offices to watch. When we changed classes everything was a buzz and we wanted to watch what was going on in anatomy but Coach Watson was not for that...we watched for a few minutes and then turned it off for her to lecture. I remember being so sad, so unsure, and so overwhelmed. My world had been changed so much more than I knew, so much more than we all knew.
Now ten years later we have been at war for years, we live with a much higher risk of terrorism, and we worry much more about our children and their future.
On a brighter note, Tucker turned 7 months on 9/11/11. Here is where we are currently:
* Pulling Up
* Crawling anywhere he pleases
* Eating Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
* Makes the funniest faces - I think some of them are a "thinking" face, like he doesn't know what to think.
* Wearing size 12 months clothes
* Current favorite toy: Fisher Price Table - loves standing up and pushing all the buttons - we are learning so much!
* Most tramatic fall: on 9/14/11 Tucker took his first major fall into the master bath tub - head first. I turned around for just a second and the next thing I know he has climbed up onto the step into the tub and was in before I knew it...I felt so terrible.
* LOVES when we walk with him so he can make it wherever he wants on his feet.
* Fun Fact: He will put ANYTHING in his mouth, except for the gerber puffs. He can't quite figure them out yet.
* He has officially found our stairs to go into the bonus room, and REALLY wants to make his way up there.
His first tent - under his jumpy
