4 1/2 month check up

This is lil man chillin at the Dr's office. We took him on Friday and he weighs 14 lbs 13 oz and is 26 in long. He is still in the 90th percentile for height and 50th for weight. He loved the mirror and really thought his own reflection was funny. He was playing on his stomach and tore the paper on the table to pieces and when I tried to make him stop he threw a fit. Uh oh...his temper is already coming through!

cereal time

We are starting to give Garrison cereal every afternoon, he is really getting the hang of it. The first time I tried, he got fussy after a couple minutes, I think because he didn't understand. Now it's another story. He basically attacks the spoon as soon as we get it anywhere near his mouth. He is really messy except I think Adam only adds to the messiness bc he doesn't try to clean up he just keeps giving him more and more. Garrison has such chubby cheeks that sometimes I have to push on his them just to make sure he has swallowed and isn't hording the food in there!





A couple weeks ago, Garrison and I were visiting with my sister at my papa's house. I laid G on the floor and we were letting him play on his back, when he was just about to roll over for the first time onto his stomach. I got really excited and screamed and scared him so he didn't make it all the way over! OOPS!! He didn't try to roll anymore for a couple of days...I guess I taught him that was no good!! Next time I will have to remember to only get excited AFTER he has achieved a milestone. He is 18 weeks now and rolls from from to back and back to front like its nothing! I can't believe he is getting so big! :(

wreck em texas tech!!

Adam and I decided to cook out and have our friends over for the Tech vs. UT game and of course the majority of our friends, in the Dallas area, have jumped on the ever popular UT bandwagon :) We had a fun night with our friends and really enjoyed getting to rub it in that Tech WON!!!!!! We are ranked #2 now and couldn't be more excited!! Garrison's bedtime is 9pm, I have no clue how he slept through all the yelling and screaming going on in the living room, but he didnt wake up once!! So far in his life Tech is undefeated!!! WRECK EM TEXAS TECH!!!! Miami here we come!

Garrison's first Halloween

YES...I am well aware that my blogging skills are not up to par....I will get better!! PROMISE!! Even though Garrison was really too young to enjoy Halloween, I still felt it my parental obligation to dress him up! And since he is too young to suggest a costume, I got to decide all by myself!! Adam of course wanted him to be a pumpkin, but I vetoed this idea! They don't make alot of costumes for baby's unless you want to put them in a sac type costume, so this was a little big on him, but still adorable. Let me introduce....Garrison the Giraffe....

Wylie had a trick or treating event downtown so we went to that with some friends, then over to grandma and grandpa's house for a visit. The next night we took Garrison to his great-grandpa Bob's house and then went to dinner with Aunt JoJo at chilis. These are some pics of Garrison's friends, Superman and Miss Butterfly.
