Mike (Greg’s little brother) has been visiting the past few weeks for a little vaycay before he starts his residency in North Carolina. Consequently, we’ve been spending as much time as possible in SLC. It’s a little crazy being away from home so much, but we’ve enjoyed it and have had a great time. I haven’t been much of a picture-taker lately—OOPS! I guess I’m usually just too busy chasing the G-Man around and averting disaster to even think about taking photos. :)
We visited Temple Square on Saturday (in between rain storms) and because Garrett was looking so cute in his new shirt (compliments of Uncles Mike and Eric), I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots.
He's definitely got the "serious" male model look down, don't you think?
Yes, he does know how to smile (along with the resulting arm flap)...
Sure do love these handsome fellars!
Today has been a silly day with Garrett. He had an almost FOUR HOUR nap this afternoon! He woke up happy and ready to play.
He loves books (thanks English teacher mommy) and his favorite one is "Tails." My friend Jamie gave this to him and he absolutely loves this book! It's interactive and has lots of different textures and flaps, and Garrett just can't get enough of it. Most of his board books are down where he can get them when he wants to, but we keep this one up higher because it is a bit more fragile (as you can see by the ripped spine in the photo). This was a great idea until Garrett discovered how to climb up on the couch and onto the table to get the book (and the computer, and my sewing supplies, and Greg's iPod...) He climbed up and got it today while I was cooking dinner and enjoyed some good reading.
Afer he finished with the book, he climbed back up to get Greg's iPod. I went back to making dinner and looked over again to see this. I'm pretty sure Garrett now knows more about running an iPod than I do...
I took the iPod and moved it (after taking the above pictures) and tried to distract Garrett with some other toys across the room. I walked back to the kitchen, got something out of the cupboard, and looked back over to see this...(Please disregard the pile of clothes needing to be mended. I should have done that today during the napathon. Maybe tomorrow!)
Now I'm sure taking pictures when Garrett does naughty things probably isn't the best reinforcement, but I just couldn't help it. What am I going to do with this kid???

Wow, I wish I could get Grey to sit still long enough to read with me. If he does, he won't let me read, he just opens and shuts the book. What's the trick?
He sure is a cutie in his new shirt!
He definitely is a cute little boy!!
I have a confession: I taught Garrett about headphones and ipods. One time he was in the kitchen and he was crying because he was stuck behind the 'fence,' I was about to go on a run so I had my ipod out so I put a headphone in his ear it was funny, he kept pulling it out and looking at it like it.
And I'm totally claiming that I taught him this.
That little stinker!! He looks so cute in that picture at Temple Square being the serious model! What are we going to do with these little climbers?
How can you get mad at such a cutie??
I can totally relate! I was wondering why I wasn't taking as many pictures, and yes, its because I'm always chasing my little monkey around. And in public? Forget it, unless Daddy's there to help ;)
Our guys are so much alike! And no worries on the reinforcement. Seriously, I still tell Dax no on things, of course, but he's not really listening so much at this age so "distractions" are my favorite, like a good book! Dax loves books too. They are so fun!
Love the picture with the ipod! And that red hair! I need to see this little guy in person.
I remember my mom (grandma Irene) saying that Willy use to run her ragged he had so much energy! She'd get so mad at him cause he was always into one thing or another. She would threaten to beat his butt off, and the minute she looked him in the eyes, she'd melt, or have to grin cause he was so dang cute.Because of his red-headed cuteness, he got away with all kinds of stuff! Come to think of it, he's still that way.
Thanks for the pictures.
