it's about time.....

that we got some updates up here, considering it's been exactly one month since the last post. so today garrett is 10 months and he is full of all kinds of tricks that keep us amazed every moment of the day. he's super mobile now, no walking, but he crawls at light speed and cruises along furniture. i swear he did the sign for "more" yesterday and while he was eating dinner. he often says/mumbles something that resembles mama, but we aren't entirely convinced. he's facinated by cups (and practicing how to drink from them), snapping, being outside, opa's beard, crawling away from an impending diaper change, recycling, and zoe's water bowl.

we all survived our first week long camping trip as a family and we had a blast. we slept in a very cozy tent, met lots of great people, listened to fabulous music, enjoyed long walks in the woods, runs, dirty feet, sunshine, rain, good food, and quality time with just the three of us. since the trip we've been spending a lot of time with family and a whole weekend of puttering around the house. we sorted through, organized, and put away all the clothes that he has grown out of and it was amazing to see how small his first set of clothing was, it is hard to imagine that our g was ever that small!! last month at his nine month check up he was 19lbs 4oz and 29inches long, and surely he's been growing/gaining since then! enjoy the pics:
