He's trying...

..to crawl! Alas, the sound doesn't work and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the sound. And was making such cute sounds too!!

Oh well!

"I'm a Little Pepper"

Garrett's favorite snack - his feet.

Aunt Ashley helping Garrett stand up. He's so serious in front of the camera.

No pictures, please...

Chewing on the diaper bag. The money we spend on toys and this is what he wants to play with - the straps on his db. Go figure!

The relevance of Dr Pepper runs deep in our family (mostly the Barkley side). Keith, a family friend of the Seholms, gave this "I'm a little Pepper" onesie to Garrett after a visit to the Dr Pepper Museum in Waco. Of the four-plus years I lived in Waco, not once did I go the the DP Museum. How sad is that?! Redgardless, doesn't Garrett look adorable in it? The last picture of was taken at the Port Neches Spray Park. Our plans were diverted to the spray park due to Hurricane Dolly. We were in the car, headed to the beach, when our hostess called to say the power was out and the sky was black. It's funny how a hurricane hundreds of miles away can affect us. But we had fun despite!

Garrett is still on a one way course to crawling or something like it. We'll keep you posted! Also, Garrett said "Da Da" the other day and my mother, Nana Sue, was my witness. He said it twice and hasn't said it since. I wrote Erik immediately to tell him the fun news.

Melissa's Birthday Dinner

Garrett and Melissa's mother, Mrs. Manske (aka: Nana Kay)

The birthday girl and the chubby little man.

Dr. Manske and his chick magnet. 

Garrett sitting on the Manske's amazing grill!! I'm sure Erik would LOVE to have one like this. 

The Manske's invited Garrett and I over to dinner in celebration of Melissa's birthday. The meal was incredible!!! Thank you for having us over this evening!! In a week's time, Melissa will be entering the CIA...no, not that one...the Culinary Institute of America, California campus. How awesome is that?!

Tomorrow is the 11th - Garrett will be 7 months old!!!

Sweet Child of Mine

Garrett's new Taggie Blanket. He loves it!! The color isn't quite accurate with my camera phone...the colors are blues, yellows, reds, greens, browns, oranges.

(If anyone wants one of these, I have the lady's contact information.)

How can you not love this face?

Clean boy in his Baby Einstein lizard hooded towel.

Caught in the middle of a smile.

Squealing for joy! 

(I covered the 'goods" this time!)

Grandpa Seholm telling us a story!

Garrett and I had a great Fourth of July weekend with the Seholms. The fireworks were good and even better - Garrett slept through them! I was hoping that he would either A: like them or B: sleep through them. I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth!! Happy Birthday America!

High chairs, boxes to Daddy and new friends

You want me to eat what?!? Garrett in his new high chair.

Going to see my Daddy!! Garrett getting ready for a loooong trip.

Old Sparky - the Sequel

Saturday night dinner at the club - Garrett and I having a chuckle.

Auntie Amanda and Unca Jason looking all cozy.

Much needed boy-bonding-time. I say this because I'm afraid I will warp this child with all my shopping and etc. 

'Don't shoot!' - super-fab water baby carrier compliments of the Auntie Amanda. Thank you for the great gift!!

Me being a super-mom - proper sun saftey is a MUST!!

Garrett, his new carseat (pictures soon) and I are headed back to H-ville for the Fourth. I'm sure we will have great stories and even better pictures to share. I hope you all have a great 4th of July weekend.

And, if you know Scarlett Denson, please wish her a Happy Birthday on the 4th!!
