Nephew Jayden born

Welcome to Jayden, our newest nephew! He weighed the same as Garrett when he was born, 8 lbs 12 oz. He looks just like his big brother Alex.

At the doctor's office

Today Garrett had a follow up check on his ears. He had fluid in them but it has pretty much cleared out now, which means no tubes in his ears! Yay! The kids were fighting over sitting on the exam chair so I put both of them on there and had to capture the moment. As you can see, they were having a lot of fun at the doctor's office today. In the waiting room, they were running around in circles and laughing as they went. It's so great to see Garrett back to normal again.

Future husband?

Just thought I would let everyone know that Nicole has already chosen the boy she's going to marry. And the lucky young man's name is Spencer! He's the son of our friends Rosie and Jarom. Nicole and Spencer have about 16 years before that could happen. We'll see if it lasts.

Sick day

There's not a lot to do around here when you're feeling sick and Mommy says you need to rest. Nicole was watching a movie and she didn't notice me take a picture of her.
She was throwing up all morning and couldn't even keep her water down. But finally she started to feel better by the afternoon. And even as I'm typing this, you wouldn't even know she was sick at all today as she's sitting on my lap and squeezing my cheeks together wanting me to say something so it will sound funny.

This was taken moments before I had to change his diaper and his clothes, since he still has diarrhea. He's been a little picky about what he wants to eat lately but part of that might be because he's getting another tooth on the top.

Garrett is enjoying his delicious banana at his seemingly new picnic table which is our plastic white stool. He's following in Nikki's footsteps with using the stool as a kid table.
