9 Months!

Garrett is 9 months old and, as a present, his two top teeth came in today (he now has a total of 4)!!!  This month has brought many firsts, so here goes.  In the food area- Garrett is now eating food in the mornings and evenings, he had puffs for the first time (and loves them!), he started using a sippy cup (although he is not  very good at it yet!), and he also had his very first popsicle!  In the moving arena- Garrett now can turn in a circle while sitting on his bum, he has started to army crawl, he rolled from his back to his tummy for the first time (so he can now roll both ways!), and he has started to try and pull himself up!  Garrett now says "Da-da"- which Jared loves and he is babbling a ton!  This month, he was able to go to his very first Indian's game (baseball), see his first fireworks, go swimming at the pool for the first time, and make his very first drawing (for Daddy on Father's Day!)!!  Garrett has also figured out the "I'll drop something and then wait for you to pick it up and then I'll drop it again" game- he loves that game!!!
Since Garrett has been teething, he was not such a happy camper today- but we took a few photos anyway!  Even not feeling so great, he was still so smiley!!!

 Introducing our Mr. Motorboat!!!

This is Tori's very first picture of Garrett- not too shabby!!!

Garrett and his bear!

He wanted to play with the camera, too!!!

Garrett has such a sad pouty face!

And such a fun happy face!!!

Garrett's sad day- in his own words!

This picture makes me want to pick Garrett up and just hold him until he is happy again! (Check out how big he is getting!)

It is so fun watching him start to play with toys more- especially now that he can get himself to them!!!

Happy 9 months Garrett- we love you so much and can't imagine our family without you!!!
