First Camping tirp

This was our home away from home Friday threw Sunday this past weekend. When I say home I mean it is almost as big as our home. HAHA. It worked so perfect.

We were able to sleep our family and then the 3 friends that Garet brought along.


We had to bring a lot of toys for Garet to help keep him occupied, but his two favorite toys were some sticks that he found on the ground and then a light toy that Dylan brought with him.
Here are a couple other toys that were lots of fun to have with us.

His walking toy that his aunt Amanda bought him for Christmas was a huge help. He was able to get around and not be on the ground not getting completely dirty all the time.
His Wagon was also a git help. Anytime he was getting tiered or just did not know what he wanted to do we would put him in the wagon and off we would go and that would keep him happy for a long while. It also worked well for a bed for naps and also so we did not have to put him in the tent all by himself.

Here are a couple of the friends that Garet brought with him camping. This is Dylan and Sierra being silly around the campfire.

Here is our other friend that came with us. Katy was our tree climber of the weekend.
Overall the weather was pretty nice for us. It did get a little cold at night but we had blankets and warm bodies in our tent so we did not get to cold. Below are just some more pictures I wanted to include. Hope you all had a great weekend.

10 months old and on the go

Garet is now 10 month old and there is no stopping his now. At 10 months he is now
31 inches long
20lbs
crawling like a crab
Walking around as long as he can hold onto something
Eating everything he can get in his mouth
He will eat baby food as long as there is no other food around
As soon as there is anything other food around he wants to eat that
Drinking out of a sippy cup but still prefers his bottle.
His heart is still stable at about 40% or normal pumping
Sleeping most of the night threw
Loves being outside and can not wait for the weather to stay nice
Babbling all the time
He also mimics everything we say not with the word but the sound
Plays ball and can not wait till he can play fetch with the dogs
Loves to ride in his wagon
No longer wants to be held unless it is almost bed time and you have a bottle for him
Needless to say he is doing really well and we are so proud of him. Below are a couple pictures and I am trying to get better about taking more pictures again. I have been slacking.
the above picture is at Uncle Dons house and he loved having a chair that was his size. Now we have to find him one before we go camping for his first time in a couple months. The below pic is Garet watching Daddy cook dinner. This is were you will find him when anyone is outside. Talking to the door thinking that you can hear him outside.
I hope you are all having a great new year.
