Garrison's first trip to the zoo!
Adam and I took Garrison to the Dallas zoo about a month ago. We picked the perfect day because it was only in the low 90's and we didn't get too terribly hot! Garrison really loves animals. I think his favorite was a gorilla named Timbo. The zookeeper said Timbo loves babies and he sat right next to the glass where we were the entire time. When we got there, I was holding Garrison, and Timbo was on the other side. When he saw Garrison he darted over and then sat by us. I wonder what it is that makes him love little ones so much. It was pretty neat!

RIver Time!!
Every year we go float the Guadalupe River with our friends. Sometimes we camp and others we stay in condos. This year we decided to camp at Lazy L&L. We had a blast!! We have so much fun when we get time to get away with our friends, especially now that it is few and far in between. Enjoy the pics!!

Vacation 2009
We went to San Antonio for 5 days and took Garrison to Sea World. He really enjoyed Shamu and we are hoping next year, we will be able to stay longer. He is so curious about everything.

Garrison Adam turns 1!!
Sunday, June 28th, Garrison turned 1! I cannot believe how fast the last year has gone by or how blessed Adam and I are. We couldn't ask for a sweeter baby boy. Garrison is off all his bottles and drinks his milk in his sippy. Some days we have to do everything we can to get enough milk in him and other days he wants too much. He is a very healthy eater (except for when he goes to Grandma's and pop-pops :). He loves eggs, turkey, chicken, zucchini, yogurt, strawberries, and his favorite thing is probably bananas. He can take about 8 steps at a time. His bedtime is between 8-9pm, and he gets up around 7am. He can say mama, dada, pop-pop, bye-bye, dog and when he sees the cats he whispers something that sounds like "wassa." Also when he sees the cats, he starts patting his leg, like he is trying to lure them to him. When I ask him to give me a kiss or a hug, most of the time he does but Adam has to ask him for a head bump. Garrison doesn't kiss with his mouth, instead he bumps his forehead on you, or the cats, or his stuffed animals(see pic below). He loves to swim, and we have to keep our bedroom door closed a lot of the time, or else Garrison can see the pool in our backyard and will point to go out. He loves being outside, either in his stroller or his big boy car. I think we are on the right track with him...and can't wait to see what the next year brings.

Leslie's 28th Birthday
It doesn't seem possible that I am really turning 28 :) Not that 28 is old, but I am quickly approaching 30....sigh.... Anyway, we had a nice time out with friends. Garrison had his first sleepover at my parent's house and I don't think he even realized that we were gone. He is about to be 1, so I think it is time that he was allowed to stay away from me and I'm sure it bothered me way more than him. We went to dinner at Pappasito's with our friends, and then went out to Logan's in Addison. Sunday, my actual birthday, we picked Garrison up from my parents and then Adam took me shopping for my birthday. Later that night we met family and friends at Razzoos. YUM!!
