Happy Turkey Day Eve

So tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It's my first real holiday and they tell me it's a time for giving thanks....hence the name. I guess what I have to be most thankful for at this point in my life is that mom and dad spent some real quality time together, as they say. Hee hee hee.

I'm looking forward to hanging out at home with the family and maybe even 'webcamming' with some folks down in Georgia. I also get to go over to grandma and grandpa Michigan's house to watch everyone stuff their faces. I can't wait. Here's some pics of me being adorable to tide you over.

Milk and cereal

Apparently I can't eat chest milk for the rest of my life, which is disappointing. So mom and dad are starting to introduce me to rice cereal...the next level in infant nutrition. When I heard rice cereal I figured it had to be Rice Krispie Treats cereal and 2% milk, right?

Wrong.

It's Gerber baby rice cereal that you mix with chest milk (to consistency of your choosing). As you can see below, I'm not impressed. If you need Xmas ideas, I would invest in bibs...

Do you think I'm teething?

You be the judge.

Type - O

If you think that I do this whole blog by myself, you're crazy. Obviously I can't take the pictures, but I also have a hard time typing it out, so I need a little help. Just recently I attempted to punch the keys again.

I had fun beating on the keys and seeing how fast I could type. I'm not sure what my WPM score was, but I bet it was in the teens...

Thank goodness for spellcheck.

Pics from Daycare

One aspect of my life that I have failed to cover on Garrett's Corner is my experiences at daycare. That's because they hypnotize me when I leave so every day is like groundhog day. Just kidding. I guess it's because so much happens that I can't hold all of that excitement in my little head. So Cathie and her daughter Tara were kind enough to donate some pictures for the blog to illustrate my daytime activities.

Here's the crew. I'm the only one not on the couch... :(

Lunch time, and I'm sleeping. The others have a competition for who has the messiest high chair.

Me and my favorite digit.

Mom stops by every now and then for a little quality time.

My swing away from swing.

Everyone got dressed up on Halloween and went to a parade. I'm the one in the back between little Hulk and little evil Spider-Man.

Awake for once during lunch...and an open shot for baby Molly to nail with her veggies.

Everyone gathered around the table for some Texas Hold 'em. I'm dealing.

Garrett Live

OK, so maybe the videos below aren't in real time, but you can imagine that they are. This is just a little footage of what I do on a daily basis. Enjoy.

Best Blog Ever

You may notice that there is a new feature on Garrett's Corner. Just above that super cute picture of me on the main page there is a Stat Counter. It keeps track of how many people visit the site each day and some other cool statistical stuff. So make sure you visit often so I can rack up the most visits and claim the nonexistent title, "Best Blog Ever." Thank you for your support.

Facials

Like all good parents, mom and dad take a bagillion (it's a word) pictures of me. I guess they want to cherish all the times they spend with me....or something. Anyway, here's a collection of pics that dad tested out the "macro" setting on the camera.

I should probably have my own coffee table book.

SNOW!!!!!

Yes, it's only November and it's already snowing in Michigan. While most people would be excited to see this fluffy white, frozen precipitation, mom and dad were less than thrilled. They still got bundled up and took me out to experience the wintry mix.


At this point, all I could do is watch it hit me in the face and turn to cold water. I'm sure it gets better. Mom said she couldn't wait until I was old enough to run around in it and throw snowballs. Dad said he couldn't wait until I was old enough to clean off their cars and shovel the drive way. Whatever.
