Often times when we call out Garrett's name to get his attention, whether it be to stop him from something he is doing - stop something he is about to do - or just simple tell him to do something, he doesn't listen. Now, I truly don't know if he already has that "male selective hearing", which I have been told there is also "toddler selective hearing" and he may be suffering from that, or if he is so engrossed in what he is doing at the present time that he honestly doesn't hear us. Anyway, it can be very aggravating. This weekend Kevin told Garrett that he was like talking to a brick wall sometimes....and went up to the wall in the living room and called "Garrett!!!!!!!!", well you guessed it.....Garrett thought it was hilarious. So now, randomly (when we tell him to!), Garrett will go up to the wall and call into it "OLAN....MEGAN!!!!" (our dogs names), or occasionally he will call something that sounds like his name, and then sometimes we simply can't understand what he is saying!!! Here is a short bit of him calling into the wall (he doesn't stay and talk for long - hence why the video is so short!).

New Shoes
Garrett got his first pair of Converse tennis shoes from Papa today :) They are too cute. (For all wondering - the puppy is NOT ours - he is on loan from Kevin's mom....the poor dog has been traumatized by Garrett I think!....she is trying to sell this puppy - anyone want a Maltese??!!)

New Tent
Mimi and Papa got Garrett a tent (well technically it was a birthday present...but he got it early!)...he LOVES this thing :) We had the best time....and even invited us all in to be his guest (one at a time of course :) )
Baseball fun
Pepe and Tina are up for a visit this weekend. Here are pictures of Garrett showing off his baseball moves :)

I see T-ball in my future
Garrett LOVES baseball- esp. the Yankees! Every night when we come home it's "baseball?, Yankees?" - he wants us to find them on TV so he can watch! It's amazing what he has picked up from watching it on TV. He will get in a squatting position and say "baseball" (I guess that means he is going to be our little catcher!), when he holds a bat to swing he "jiggles" the bat (you know, like the professionals!), and then....he started doing what your about to see in this video on Sunday. At first we couldn't figure out what he as doing...then it hit us....he is actually "running" to a "base"!! This proves how much kids absorb things.
MOTORCYCLE!!
Garrett has found a love for motorcycles...from a distance! But his cousin Michael was able to convince him to ride his dirtbike this weekend....off of course with Daddy and Michael pushing him!!

Bubble Time with Uncle Tyler
Tyler leaves Monday for New York before heading to Basic the following week. He came over today and spent the afternoon and evening with us. Garrett had gotten bubbles for Easter-but left them at Mom and Dad's. Tyler brought them today-and when Garrett saw them he immediately wanted to go outside and play with bubbles. He had a GREAT time playing with his Uncle Tyler! :)

Easter 2009
We had a busy Easter weekend! Garrett had 3....yes 3 easter egg hunts! He had a blast :) The Easter bunny visited him on Sunday and brought him a lawn mower-so now he can help Daddy when he mows :) Carleane and Bill also got Garrett a shopping cart for Easter...it is the cutest thing ever-he goes around putting things in there and pushing them...too funny!! Hope everyone had a great Easter :)
In the Army Now
That's right...my baby brother has followed in Dad's footsteps and has joined the Army. He leaves for basic in 2 weeks. This weekend we had a party in honor of him. I couldn't be more proud, and honored to call him my brother.
