Garrett

(Checking on baby Evelyn in the morning.)

Oh boy where to begin with this child. He continues to grow bigger and gets heavier. I swear I can't lift him much any more. We are slowly getting him to say words instead of grunting at everything. He is working on baby, belly button, milk, yes, no, all done, amen, and please. He loves to imitate Benjamin. Benjamin will yell 'no' to me and then to Garrett he will say no no no no no no no. Garrett has picked up on this and it is so hard to keep from laughing. He can kind of say Evelyn's name. He loves to hold her quickly put his face on hers and say the vowel noises of hi evelyn. Also he like to rub her hair and does a pretty good job at being soft. He has finally got two more teeth making his grand total to 8, yeah! I can't wait until his teething is finished and I will have my happy Garrett back on a more permanent basis. Sunday was his first day of nursury. It didn't go so well. He is one stubborn boy and after crying for an hour the nursury workers brought him to me because they were nervous about it being bad for him to cry so hard for so long. He gets really splotchy all over his face and everyone thinks something is wrong when the see him like that. He is a fighter when he wants to be. He is so helpful and always closes the dishwasher for me. He gets so excited to stand on the stool in the bathroom like big brother Benjamin and wash his hands. Already I can see his desire to be like Benjamin.
