July 4th


On the Fourth of July, we took Garrett to the cottage for the first time. We tried to get him to go swimming, but right after this picture was taken, he started crying. I think the water was just a little too cold for swimming.

Food Frenzie!



At Garrett's 6 month check up, the doctor okayed him to start cereals. This unfortunately was not his FIRST attempt at cereal, but one of them. We were still trying to work out how to get the food IN his mouth, but he decided that it was more fun to smear it on the table.

Beach Babe...


On June 24th, Doug took Garrett on his first trip to the beach! Doug's parents were camping at Holland State Park and Garrett got all geared up to play at the beach. And of course he had to have his favorite pal Yoda with him.

Sittin' pretty!


On June 21st, Garrett learned how to sit up on his own! He still toppled a bit, but he instinctively caught himself and pushed himself back up. In this pic, he was busy watching Spongebob Squarepants (our fave cartoon).



Apparently my little man wants to be big and strong, so he's been working out by soing some push-ups!

Father's Day Fun



I bought Garrett this little inflatable pool and Doug and I decided it was a nice day to let Garrett try it out. At first he wasn't too keen on the idea (it was not exactly bath water). But eventually he got used to it and had fun chasing after his floating bath toys. Doug even got him splashing around!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

On the morning of Father's Day, I got Garrett up and brought him downstairs to see his daddy. Doug was so happy to see him. He loves being a father and especially loves having a little boy!

I wish I could hold him like this forever...


New outfit from Nana!


My mom got this outfit for Garrett from The Children's Place, and I have to say that he looks absolutely adorable! Doug thinks he looks like a mini jockey with this hat, but Garrett seems to like it!
