Getting ready for Christmas and our first hair cut




It has been quite a while since my last post and I am so sorry. Things get crazy around the holidays. We are getting very excited about going to IL for Christmas so we have been trying to get everything ready to go. One of the things on our list was to get both Garet and Matt a hair cut. Garet hair was starting to get long and a little messy all the time. We had a little bit of time on Saturday afternoon so off to the hair cut place. He did really well. He wanted to keep looking at the scissors and Barbara cutting his hair. As soon as we started having Daddy take pictures and getting his attention focused somewhere else it actually went very smooth.

He looks like such a little man.

We have also been working on crawling, and going from his tummy to a sitting position. Garet gets so mad when he gets to him tummy and then can not do anything once he gets there. All evening Friday and most of the day Saturday and Sunday I played with him on the floor as much as possible. I would crawl around on the carpet as much as I could as well. Well after only a couple days of doing this he is now moving across the floor. He is also able to go from his tummy to sitting. He is so much happier now playing on the floor. He no longer gets stuck on his tummy and he can not get his hands on just about anything he wants to so he no longer gets upset about that. I can not believe how fast they learn.



We also cleaned out Garets room of clothes that are to small and toys and swings that he no longer used or is to big for. I took them all apart and got them packed away good just in case we ever need them again. It was kind of sad packing that stuff away. He is no longer a little baby and has become so independent.
Garet should be going back to his normal dr's this week some time to get his next synagis shot so we will be ready to go up north in the cold weather. I am excited to see how much he has grown. He really loves food and we really have to watch what we eat in front of him. No matter what it is he things that if we are eating it he should be able to eat it as well. Below is a picture I just thought was to cute not to post.

I hope everyone has a great holiday. Just in case I do not post before we leave to go up north. Have a Merry Christmas and and Happy New Year.
