A couple of big events have happened this past week or so in the Gogel household!
Abel had his first taste of food and well...he likes it! I'm not quite so sure the word like conveys actually how much this kid likes it! He's had banana, avocado, and carrots so far. I have apples and mangos in the freezer as well waiting for him. He is already grabbing the spoon and shoving it into his own mouth! He's wanted food for the past three months or so but I wanted to wait until he was 6 months old. I also skipped the rice cereal for him as well. This was a choice I made and well researched! So far I am making his baby food. I enjoy it and he seems to like it! Its a win for both of us! And well a win for the budget as well!
Noah started swim lessons. Zack and I will be honest when we say that we can "maybe" swim to save our lives. Maybe! Swimming is obviously a necessary skill. Getting into swim lessons here is winning the lottery...seriously! So we ended up just paying for private lessons. And I think it is probably best for him anyway. His teacher is, Emi, a very nice Japanese woman. And Noah already loves her! Most of his teachers at school are Japanese women so I figured I'd be safe and picking a Japanese woman for his swim instructor. He didn't want to go but the day of the lesson he said that he wanted to go learn. So we went and he learned a lot...very basic...but he had fun!
Orders...We did get selected. And no we aren't ready to share what the Navy has in store for us just yet. It will take a few months for the hard copy of the orders to come in...meaning that this it and with very likely certainty it won't change. Once we have our hard copy we will share where our family will be moving...so stay tuned.
