Garrett's Baptism!

We had Garrett baptized at our church on his 3 month birthday (March 25, 2007). I wanted him to look nice, so I bought him this outfit from The Children's Place. Everyone thought he looked so cute!

Garrett at 9 weeks

These are Garrett's 9 week pictures that we had taken at Target. He's been smiling all the time since he turned 7 weeks. But wouldn't you know it... you get him in front of a camera and he gets a little shy! We tried everything to get him to smile, but he ended up crying at the first session. These pics came from our second session. They still turned out alright. He's adorable anyway!

Garrett loves his mommy!

Garrett and Mommy- 4 weeks old

You can't tell because he's screaming, but he really loves his mommy!

BIG changes!!!

Look how much he has changed from 4 days old to 10 days old!
At the time I couldn't see any changes in him, but now that he's 3 months old and a lot bigger, I look back and can see what everyone else was talking about.

1 day old...

Garrett looks a lot better here, huh? He is 1 day old in this picture. Still a little puffy, but looks great! He was born 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19&1/2 inches long. Looking back at this picture he seems so little compared to now. Doug always says, "He's STILL little." Yes, he is, but not THIS little.

On The Day You Were Born...

On the day you were born, my life became more

complete than I ever imagined.

This is my son Garrett. As much as I didn't want his birthday on Christmas, he had other plans. He was born at 5:34pm on Christmas Day, and I have to say that this is by far the best present I've ever received. I love this picture of him because I never saw him looking like this. Yes, I'm the one holding him, but when they put him in my arms, he was so beautiful and perfect. I looked past all the puffiness and redness and straight into those beautiful blue eyes. It was then that I knew why I was born- to be Garrett's mommy.
