Future Soccer Player?

Well this video is going to serve two purposes. I have yet to post a video of our little man walking-so for those of you that haven't/can't see him walking here is how he is doing. Also, he has learned how to kick a ball....future soccer player?, who knows....just maybe(but shhhh don't tell Daddy...he is hoping for basketball!!) :)

Blowing Kisses

Garrett started blowing kisses last week....and I have tried and tried to catch it on video, but of course as soon as a pull the camera out...he stops. Tonight he blew me a kiss and I happened to have the camera in my hands-so I quickly switched it to video mode and got this short video. Don't know if you can hear it-but he even makes the "kiss" sound when he does it!! Too cute :)

My new housekeeper

He's such a big help around the house!! Garrett has his very own Hoover vacuum :)

Round 1: Garrett VS. The Floor

Ding: The floor won

Garrett has his first MAJOR boo-boo. He was walking down the hall at daycare going to visit one of his favorite teachers when he fell. He had a bloody nose at the time, then his poor little lip started to swell. Poor thing- and all this happened 5 minutes before Kevin got there to pick him up :( I know it's the first of many- but it's still heartbreaking.

Our first family vacation to the beach!!

We decided to take a little family vacation, so we went to Wilmington for a weekend getaway. We had such a good time. Garrett HATED the beach. He was scared of the water (who can blame him-that is one big bathtub), and I can't stand sand everywhere-so while he was fine playing in that...I wasn't digging it - and left soon after arriving(yes, I did grow up in Florida...but I have always HATED sand)Poor Kevin- I think he was hoping we would spend all day at the beach, yea, didn't happen!
So we spent some time at the pool (Garrett's first time in a pool) and he loved that... esp. the little boat float we got him! We also took a tour of the USS North Carolina that they have docked in Wilmington b/c it is a retired ship. It was very interesting, and something fun to do. I have yet to post a video but as you can tell in the pictures Garrett is full on walking now!! It's exciting...but sure is keeping us busy!! It definatly is his favorite mode of transportation now. Ah, where has my baby gone!







Garrett's first sandcastle

Just chillin' in the wagon....don't mind the big belly!!!


The smile that warms my heart

What happens when you turn your back for 1 second and you have a 1 year old!!

Mom Graduating LPN school

Garrett says "Don't stop here...keep going and get that RN!!!!"

Time to Vacuum

Garrett loves to watch us vacuum, and tries to help as much as he can!!





"WHATEVER YOU DO.....DON'T GET THE CUP!!!!!"

Watching the Yankees

Like Father - Like Son!

First pair of WALKING shoes!!

Garrett is not quite walking (getting close though) and his other shoes were getting to small...so we went and bought his first pair of walking shoes today!!! We went to a locally/family owned shoe store that specializes in childrens shoes. Here are a few different shots I took when we got home of the shoes....I totally forgot to take pictures at the store :(

Dance like there's no tomorrow

Garrett has started "dancing" to music now. It is the funniest thing to see him bouncing up and down while were in the car! This is a new toy that his Grandma Kaye got him that is a ride on toy, that also plays music(You can't hear it that well on the video). He cracks us up!! :)

Sand Table

We have been so busy that Garrett hasn't even gotten to play with the sand and water table that we got him for his birthday. Well, after dinner we took him outside to check it out and he loved it! Half of the sand was either on him, or on the ground!!




The fourwheeler gets him to what he wants.....faster!! :)
