A new best friend-Maggie

About 2 weeks ago, a yellow lab showed up at our house looking like she hadn't eaten in at least a week. Just about everyone on our road gave her something to eat--being that most of us are animal lovers!! So she has made Honeycreek her home. Garrett couldn't be any happier--He loves her to pieces!! She's so calm and just wants to lay around and rest, but Garrett can not stand it. He has to be loving on her, petting on her, trying to give her his rocks, laying beside her, etc. So, she doesn't get much rest around our house if we are outside, but I think she's fine with that. She just likes to be around people.

She loves our carport!!

Just can't leaver her alone.

She loves our deck too!

Swim Lessons III

Week 5- Superman was rolling over-floating-and swimming!!

Week 6- This week Garrett did his test in clothes--

Before swim lessons

winter clothes test

And yes, that is him crying the ENTIRE time!

Words, Words, and Words

Forever it seems like the only words that Garrett would say were Mama and Dada. It seems like everyday now, he says something new--

Here are some words that he has said on more than one occasion:

hey
bye bye
uh-oh
oooohwee- this is the most precious sound I have ever heard!!
Papa
Pop sounds like Bop
Nanny
two
chip- a close race for his favorite food
cheese
shh-while putting his finger to his lips
tea
stick
choo choo
car
girl

Swim Lessons II

For Garrett's third week of swim lessons, he was only able to go 1 day due to terrible weather and his allergies.

By the end of week 4, he could roll over, float, and swim a small piece to a bar they teach them with. I have my fingers crossed that we don't have too many more weeks to go.
