14 months old

My son looks like a little boy rather than a little baby. Where has time gone?! I look at him and wish that he would stop growing!! (Just for maybe a year or so...not forever!)Words cannot express what my heart feels everytime I look at him...he is so perfect and precious to me. Garrison is just about running! He is the fastest little walker I have ever seen. He started walking right at his first birthday and has not stopped since! He always has a bruise or scratch somewhere on his body to confirm to us that he is all boy. It is this age where he really is a little sponge! We have caught him doing several things and been shocked that he knew what to do. He will grab our keys and walk to the front door and try to unlock the door with the key. Thankfully all of our plugs are plugged in, but he will also take a cord and try to plug it into the light socket. (Yes, he gets in trouble for this) He holds his cup up to the fridge to try and get ice. He will grab my lotion and shake it on his hands as if he is putting it on....Yes, he is a little sponge!! Thankfully he hasn't picked up any bad habits just yet ;)

Words: Garrison knows alot more than he can communicate but he also has a pretty large vocabulary. Last week after Church, I was buckling him in his car seat and he said hot and wouldn't let his back touch the car seat. Poor baby, he does not like the Texas heat!! He knows cat, dog, ball, mama, dada, pop pop (for my dad), whats that, juice, side (for outside), shoe, i'm sure there are more but so far these are the most common ones he says. He has an infatuation with shoes and often you can find him in our hosue running around in a diaper with shoes or boots on. As soon as he gets up in the morning he will find his shoes, bring them to you, sit down on teh floor, and hold up his foot! I think he would sleep and bath in them if we let him. He does not like his diaper to be on and often takes it off and then we find him running around naked.

Food: He still eats really healthy and for this I am thankful. He had cuccumbers last night for the first time and loved them! He had blueberry waffles this morning ofr breakfast with daddy and Adam said he wanted more. He still loves bread, bananas, strawberries, eggs, pasta pickups, pork, chicken, peas,and zucchini. There really isn't too much he won't eat and want more of. Last night he grabbed an onion off my plate and even ate that!!

Seems so crazy 14 months ago, he was totally dependent upon me, and now he is a toddler enjoying the world!
