garrett's 9 months old today!

his first trip to the ER...just a case of hives!

oh my goodness...our little guy is all over the place! he's been crawling for about 6 weeks now (he is very, very fast!) & last week also started pulling up consistently & *cruising* @ the same time! tonight he even stood up on our bed all by himself!

he no longer likes diaper changes (how *do* you keep those little guys from twisting off the changing table?); he laughs like crazy @ things he thinks are funny - this applies mainly to brian's antics! (daddy's always get the biggest laughs); @ the gym, he *only* wants to be out w/ the big kids & doesn't like being in the *baby* room - are you kidding me?; he loves watching anything that huckleberry (yes, we still have that blessed animal) is doing + he chased our friend's cat around their house; he apparently loves fireworks, shoving his bottle out our friend brandy's hand in order to see jeff light them off on their driveway!; he had his first trip to an art museum & the ER - all within a 24 hour period (however, the events are unrelated!). we've also heard numerous times in the last month how garrett is chunking up! ;-) he was weighed in the ER sunday & is around 22 pounds.

happy birthday, little monkey man!

garrett was trying to crawl away from ansley! she wasn't having it!

kennedy had better luck!

cruising around the ottoman in our den.



garrett's first trip to the art museum in town.

today we had a picnic with daddy in the square close to his office.

mommy & garrett @ our picnic today.

look how big he's getting!

note that he's wearing a different outfit in these photos...there was a *blow out* mid-shoot!

Wow 22 pounds? Gavin doesn't even weigh that much and Drew is just over that at 15 months. Your arms have got to be strong!
