7 months old!

 
garrett's 7 months old today! the summer is passing so quickly & we're enjoying every moment with our little guy. he's getting so big & less & less "babyish" as the days go by.

he has 2 teeth now...garrett eats oatmeal, banana, avocado, sweet potato & yesterday ventured onto carrots!...he is loving being up on all fours (sometimes hands & feet, not just hands & knees!) in preparation for crawling (not sure how ready his parents are for that, but!)...garrett's a HUGE fan of his jumpy swing (thanks, gilmore family!) & will just scream in sheer excitement while he jumps & jumps & jumps...he loves being tickled & will give us the GREATEST laughs...he's started reaching for people here & there (mainly mommy...aaawwww)...in the last month brian & i went away to miami for a few days & garrett stayed here with my mom - he did awesome, though i think grandmom was pretty tired when she left! brian & i had a great time being on the beach/by the pool & while we missed our little man, it was nice being just the 2 of us for a few days...

hope that you're all enjoying the summer & leave us a little note here & there...we'd love to hear from you!

7 months - wow! It goes by so fast. Each age is so much fun! Looks like he is ready to climb off that bed. I always missed the sitting up stage. When they start crawling, it is crazy and tiring but fun to watch.

I am so jealous that you were able to get away. That is great for the two of you! I knew I was not ready for the boys to crawl and I am almost ready for them to walk just becuase they are getting so heavy. Enjoy every moment, which I know you are1

It looks like Garrett got his daddy's long legs! He is SO handsome. :)...Garrett, that is. Although, you are handsome, too, Brian. Can you believe that you'll be planning his first b-day party soon? It goes by so fast. We're really enjoying keeping up w/ you through your blog.
