Happy Birthday, Garrett!
For Garrett's birthday we had to celebrate the night before because Russ was out of town (Florida) for an orthodontic conference on his actual birthday (not that Garrett knew the difference or even understood what was going on!). We blew up balloons and let he craw after them, try to lay on them and watch in amazement as they floated around the room. We opened presents, which he didn't really get, but what he did understood were the cool new toys that he could play with after they were out of that silly wrapping. We had some friends, the Johnsons, over for cake and ice cream. Garrett wasn't really into his cake -- he put his fingers in it and them smashed his sippy cup of milk into it (which ended up on the floor and all over the carpet!). But, all in all it was a great birthday.
Here are some fun things about Garrett: He loves to suck on wash clothes in the tub; the only word he can say is, "Quack", and especially loves to say it when he is in his duck towel after his bath; he can take steps (giant steps where he picks his feet up quite high) while holding onto my fingers; he loves books and gets so excited when I open them; he loves fruit - especially pears, strawberries and grapes; he loves to do 'Patty Cake' and as soon as I start singing he starts rolling and throwing it in the oven (the shortened version, I guess!); he has five teeth (one on top, four on bottom) and one on top about to break through; he loves to chase balls around the room (especially tennis balls that have a little bounce); he is a tease and loves to do silly things to make Cole laugh (like banging his head against the high chair at lunch); he gives slobbery kisses that are wet, yet precious; he is so much fun and a delight to have in our home. We love you, Garrett!
New toys -- sweet!
Why don't those silly balloons stay in one place?
Presents -- what am I supposed to do with these silly things?
Unwrapping and looking for what is inside... Cole was a big helper!
Birthday cake -- don't touch it, it might be good! What a handsome little guy!!

Tell Garrett Happy 1st Birthday from us! We wish we could celebrate more holidays and special occassions with you.
I can't believe he is one. How much fun is a first party. They don't have any idea what is going on, but they sure are fun to watch. It looks like he had a ton of fun.
I love first birthdays. Your kids are so cute.
Happy Birthday Cole! We still have your card on the counter(out of stamps at the moment)so it will be a little belated. I can't believe Garrett is 1. Time flys by. I am really loving this blogging thing! It is a great way to keep in touch. I will talk to you soon
Sounds like it was a very fun birthday!! Garrett is so cute, we just can't get enough of him!
Happy Birthday Garrett! What a handsome little guy! Is it his haircut that makes him look so old or just the fact that he is ONE now? You do such fun things for birthdays! Wish we could be there.
Happy Birthday baby-G!! I hope you had a great day. You are just too cute -- I sure enjoyed seeing you during the Christmas break in Utah. Your blue, blue eyes and great smile just light up the room.
