garrett's 18 months!



garrett's little personality has just exploded in the last month or two...we hear a new *word* out of him every other day. we find new things that he wants to explore or attempt just about every single day! he laughs @ himself, he loves making us laugh & mocking us.

one of the cutest things he's done lately is grabbing his belly & saying 'ow, ow'! he's doing this b/c baby girl really really really hurts me when she kicks me. truly, painful. garrett didn't act like that when he was in there! so...he scowls (but often smiles while scowling), presses both hands on his belly (or mine) & says, "owwww! owwww!" CRACKS us up!

he loves to play outside! & is such an active, sweaty little guy when we're out there. he's reached the point that he'll cry when we bring him inside. he loves to push light switches up & down, turn anything on & off basically.

happy 18 month birthday (yesterday, sorry we're a little late), little monkey!

(top photo: just playing in our bedroom one afternoon, G was totally laughing @ himself b/c he was playing w/ an old alarm clock & plugging & unplugging it...thought that was hysterical!)

check it out...not the first skinned knee, but the first one that bled all the way down his shin. poor baby!

still checking out that knee!

alright, mowing on...

@ our neighborhood cookout the kids were in a little parade...we didn't actually get around to decorating G's stroller, but he did manage to blow kisses all along the way to his adoring public.

G loves, loves, loves our sunglasses. this is his first *real* pair...last year's *baby* pair have the strap & he gets hung up taking them on & off - so needless to say, these are a hit - when they're on...or off, actually.

too bad that bubble mower doesn't really cut the grass!

so excited to be on the mow!

no joke...every day when B comes home from work, G is certain to make sure that B's bops (aka, socks) must come off. he takes off the shoes, pulls the *bops* off & then wants to shove brian's shoes back on. here he's pointing @ the shoes, ready to start the process. :-)

How fun! Isn't it cool to start hearing what is going on in their little minds? Isn't it also neat to see the diffent personality of the little girl inside of you? I know I am ready to meet my little guy! Thanks for posting!

So cute, Beth! He is looking so much older in the more recent photos! I LOVE this age! It's my favorite. I wish I could've bottled each of my kids at 2, so that I could experience it over and over. (Good thing it's fresh in my mind w/Emery.)
