Silly Boy

We were cleaning up after dinner & heard Garrett saying "Hat"...so we both looked over and this is what we saw: Garrett with his yogurt container on top of his head. Fortunately he had eaten most of the yogurt...and it is bath night, so we all had a laugh!
Another "Cheese!" picture. This one taken on St. Patty's Day - Garrett wore his John Deere Green!

Laid Back

Steve & I do not condone propping one's feet upon the dining table...but I couldn't help but capture this picture of Garrett, laid back and relaxing with his juice, after a good meal.

22 Weeks

It's hard to believe that baby boy #2 will be here in 4 short months!
So far everything has been going well with this pregnancy. It definitely has not been as smooth as my first - I've had a lot of nausea, aches and pains - but then, I wasn't chasing after a rambunctious toddler last time either!
Garrett doesn't really understand that the "baby" in Mama's tummy is actually a BABY - like the ones he waves at every night as we leave the daycare. But I know that he will be a Great Big Brother! He likes to "help" Mama & Daddy around the house, so I'm sure he'll continue to do so when baby arrives.

Spring is Coming!

The snow is starting to melt away, and the sun is shining every day...does this mean Spring is coming?? We recently spent some time on the back deck pointing out some evidence that proves this to possibly be true!

It was "warm" enough for Garrett to wear a light jacket...but because of the wind, he still needed his hat.
Garrett and I spotted some signs of green grass and listened for birds...

This is a common look that we see from Garrett as he says "Where go?", which is often followed with an excited "There it is!" I think we were looking for birds that had been close by in this photo.

Garrett is definitely Daddy's Boy!

Say Cheese!

Recently it was picture day at Garrett's daycare...so we practiced saying "Cheese!" for the camera as he got ready on the morning of. Hopefully his school pictures are more natural-looking than what we captured at home...

Giddy Up

Look at our little buckaroo on his horse! He's finally big enough to get on/off his horse by himself...something he's very proud of.

Hats

Garrett is on the road to independence - this is evident in the frequent "NO's" he shouts out when we attempt to help him with simple things like putting on socks or his coat in the morning. One thing he has (kind of) mastered is putting on hats. It doesn't matter if it's his hat or Daddy's, when he finds a hat he likes to put it on like a "big boy".

Surprise!

Garrett says "YAY!"
