Our Days in Nashville

Well, Garrett and I got to make our first solo trip!! We went to Nashville last Tuesday and stayed for the night with Jon's parents, Nana and Pop. We had a really good time and got to visit with a lot of new faces!! Garrett did really good and really enjoyed his time getting pampered. I don't think he had to sit by himself at all :)

Here's me and my Nana. I'm in my cute new pajamas that nana got me at Old Navy. You can't really read them here, but they say "Daddy is my Hero". Jon liked these a lot :)
Here is a closer up view....he looks pretty content.

I never seem to get any pictures with him, but they did take one for me while we were there. Here is me and my baby...he's snoozing away!

While we were in Nashville, Tuesday night, Karen, Shandra, Andrea, Anita, Gracie Mae, and Lillian all came to eat dinner with us. Then on Wendesday, we went to Longhorn's where we got to see Libby and Peggy. We really enjoyed getting to see everyone.

Here's another shot with my Nana. She always says that she could hold me all day :) I think he enjoys the extra attention.

Here's another shot of my adorable outfit. These are sooo cute. They are fleece and so soft. I really just love the overalls.

Fun Weekends!

Well, we have had a really fun weekend even though it has come a monsoon the last two days. Garrett is really starting to have a lot of personality and making a lot of new little noises that are so cute. I know you are looking at the pictures below and thinking what in the world?? Jon and I thought this was hilarious. I laughed for probably 20 minutes. We had him on the couch and Charlie was sitting above him on the couch and his tail kept falling on his head, so Jon thought it would make a cute picture to see what he would look like with a mohawk. Well, turns out, it is really funny and cute!! He actually enjoyed it too. Every time his tail would brush across his head, he would grin a little bit.

This is me as a punk rocker :)

Just hanging out

Saturday we went to Mr. Kenny's house (Jon's neighbor when he lived at the other house). He was excited to see Garrett. He hadn't ever gotten to see him before. This is his little outfit he had on Saturday. We stayed there for quite a while and Garrett was really good. He ate, slept and just kind of looked around. Very good as usual :)

I also took him outside Saturday for the first time to just look around. He is usually in his carseat and all bundles up and can't really look around. He loved it. He looked amazed and really enjoyed the sunshine. It was pretty warm, but to make sure he didn't get cold, I put him in his bear suit :) I just love it and he looked so cute!!

This is just a picture of me in another new outfit. This one really made him look like a little man. It has a pocket on the front and a collar. Really cute!

This is my farm animals outfit...a very cute outfit Ms. Libby got him.

Last weekend Jon's parents came to visit. This is my Nana holding me. I really enjoyed it and I slept most of the day. It was very relaxing!!

This is another time when I was sleeping on my Nana. I just have a different outfit on. I think this one got spit up on shortly after :)

Well, sorry I hadn't posted in so long. I hope you enjoyed the pictures and have a great Monday!!

My Little Monkey

As you can see my little monkey is starting to enjoy playing a lot more :) He even enjoyed his last bath!! His personality is starting to change and I can tell a big difference in how alert he is. He was awake almost all day yesterday. He is now up to 6 oz bottles at every feeding pretty much and I still can't believe that it will all fit in his little belly!!

I love this little outfit he is in. The feet are especially cute! Our dog thought they were toys and I had to get him to leave his feet alone :)

We went to Gainesboro on Wednesday now that the weather is finally a little warmer. We enjoyed our day with everyone. I got to eat at Spankies in Cookeville, which was very good, hadn't been there in a while. Then I went to Teneal's and my parent's house. He does so well being out and about which is a blessing. We are still debating what we will do today. I am thinking about going to look at furniture. I have been wanting to get a new couch and I think if I find a really good sale, I may just go ahead and buy one :)

Here is Garrett's great-grandpa really enjoying playing with him!!

And this is me just being cute!!

1 Month Old!!

Well, the day has come...today Garrett is officially 1 month old. Time really flies! I have been lucky to get to stay home and enjoy every minute. He hasn't left my side except for twice and only a few hours each time. I definitely think it is going to be soooo hard to go back to work and leave him with someone. We will see though how it goes :(



On to the positives!! I took Garrett to the doctor this past Wednesday for his one month checkup and wow how he has grown. He had gained almost 2 lbs and now tops the scales at 9.0 lbs and has grown 3/4" to a whole 20-3/4". The doctor was quite impressed that he had gained so much in only 3 weeks. We definitely have an eater on our hands. He eats anywhere from 4 to 6 oz at every feeding and I have been told that it was almost unbelievable for one his age to eat so much at a time. He definitely seems to enjoy it though :)



We also had our first bath last week. Seems like it took forever for his cord to fall off, but we are getting to have lots of bath time fun now. Not really :( He doesn't seem to like it too much yet. Well, I have included some pictures of him at 1 month and also of his first bath. Hope everyone is having a good start to their week and we will post again soon!

My cute outfit. I have graduated on to 0-3 month clothing now. This had some really cute overalls with it, but he puked on them and we had to change to different pants.

I know it seems like he is always in this chair, but it is just the easiest place to get pictures of him. He is quite squirmy everywhere else I lay him down.

This was the beginning of the bath and he wasn't too upset yet...

Now I am starting to squirm and gearing up for some heavy screaming :) He did some better last night, but we didn't get any pictures of it. Hopefully he will start enjoying them soon!

Just a swingin'

Well, there's not a whole lot to write about. It has been unbelievably cold this week so we have pretty much just hibernated this week. Garrett is really getting more and more alert and has been starting to play a little more. Not really playing, but just rolling around and making noises and stuff. We go back to the doctor tomorrow and have his first shots. I am really dreading it, so I hope all goes well. I tried the swing out for the first time this week and he really liked it. He's not a big fan of the vibrating seat, but he likes the music and swinging. Hopefully it will help aid with sleep in the future :)

Look at those big eyes...a little crossed in this picture, but he's working on that :)
My first time in the swing

Looking up at the mobile on it very curiously

A far away view of how much fun I'm having :)

And last but not least...my adorable face!!

What a Handsome Boy!!

Okay, so I know a Momma is partial, but I just think he is so adorable!! I took him last week for his first official photos at JCPenney and they all turned out so good. I didn't put them all on here, but I put some of my favorites. I think he gets cuter and cuter every day!! I hope you enjoy the pictures!!

Just Hanging Out

Well...I haven't posted in a bit, but we haven't really done all that much exciting this week. Mom has been adjusting to keeping me all day without daddy at home :( We miss him. I have to make my own lunch and breakfast now and change all the diapers (haha). Jon was definitely a bit help, but I can tell he is enjoying being back at work. Starting today, though, we have him home with us until after Christmas.

I thought I would just post a few random pictures this time. Garrett is really adjusting well. He did so great last night!! He only got up once and he actually went to sleep right at 8:30 when I laid him down. He really is a little angel!! He is pretty alert throughout the day at various times and then just sleeps. He is pretty content all day and rarely cries :) About the only time he is fussy is when he is hungry or wet of course. I am really crossing my fingers that this will be the norm and he won't change soon!!

We went this past Monday and had pictures made at JCPenneys and they turned out sooooo good! I can't post them to this sight, but hopefully I will be able to scan them soon to post a few. I had him in his little Santa suit for some Christmas pictures and then they also did some of the naked 0 month pictures that always turn out so cute. They did some where it looked like he had angel wings, too, and I really love them.

Well, I think we have decided to travel for Christmas since he is doing so well. We are looking forward to spending time with both our families for Christmas! I will post again soon. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

This is what I usually look like after I have eaten in the mornings...happy and wide eyed!

Playing with my dog Charlie and Daddy!

Loving on my doggie Charlie

Getting ready to go have my pictures made

Mom dressed me up in my warm Snowman suit!

Ignore the greasy face...I just put his face cream on. He has the driest little chin and nose right now, but they are clearing up and looking much better...

Snoozing in my Papasan chair....I just love this thing!!
