Thanksgiving with family and friends...

Garrett was such a sweet boy through all of our Thanksgiving parties. We started out at Cal's aunt's house where we had a great time getting to know all the new relatives. He was so happy and content all day, it was hard to believe there was a baby in the house!

This is our first real picture as a family! I love this one because everyone is looking at the camera!

This is Garrett having a "digestive experience". It was even funnier in real life.

Having dinner with Grandma!

Getting to know Aunt Miriam! Garrett liked to pull her curly hair. We met up with my friend Miriam on Friday after Thanksgiving. She had the opportunity to meet the little guy she saw me poking in my belly during our last semester of classes together. She was sure to let Garrett know that she was on his side the whole time. : )

"Great to have seen you, Miriam! I hope you had a safe drive back to Texas!"

Some more pictures from around home...

Getting ready to go to Menomonie for Thanksgiving weekend!

I loves me blueberries!!

Veggies, eyes, cribs...

Good advice

So, Garrett has a goopy eye problem and whenever we get back from a car trip where he has fallen asleep, his left eye is always gooped shut. Here is what that typically looks like. I think it's pretty cute in this instance. I'm such a mean mom.

Garrett has enjoyed playing in his crib recently. It's new and exciting now that he can play sitting up. Below you'll see a video of him, too.

Halloween!

The boys were not terribly fond of their costumes!

But they still looked cute!

Continuing Barfiness

Baby loves to eat prunes! The green beans weren't such a success.


Much cleaner.

Lately, Garrett is still not doing so well. He is barfing all over the place! His little face makes grimmaces when he's barfing and I wish I could help him feel better! I've got another call in to our doctor hoping to find out what is going on. Also our lactation consultant is in the fun just to make sure we are covering all the bases. Oy.

A little QT with Fam and Friends

This week, Garrett got sick early on and then shaped up quickly. We were able to get down to Madison for the last two days of our four day trip and had an opportunity to see some friends. Check out the cuteness...

Holding hands with Aunt Cory...

Enjoying Qdoba with Uncle Larry.

When we got home, we had Garrett's cousin Braydon and his mom Sarah come stay with us. We went to the pumpkin patch and took some wicked cute pictures of the boys. They are getting so big.

Garrett likes the feel of the pumpkins

The two boys sharing Garrett's jungle gym. It was a tight squeeze!

Garrett: "Who IS this guy?"

Braydon: I don't know who he is, but he's getting smacked in the face! Repeatedly!

Super Happy Garrett

My little guy is so easily amused. This 60 second clip shows him laughing at me. And while it looks like I am rocking his exersaucer, in fact I am not. It's got a curved bottom and he is just that excited that he rocks it all over the place! Enjoy!

Halloween Costume

Here is the adorable costume I picked up for Garrett and it was too small! I was able to wedge him into it for the picture, but he cried when he tried to move and couldn't do that so well. I think he looks so cute as a pea pod, and I wish I could find a bigger size! Alas, Target only sells this costume in this size. Sigh... However, at a local resale shop, there is a little sunflower costume for sale. We'll see how that one works out...
