Three quarters of a year!
It's hard to believe that my little GusGus has been out in this world longer than he baked in my belly. The past nine months have been tough, I'm not going to lie.. But this little dude just makes everything better with that huge grin of his. People comment all the time that he's the "smiliest" baby they've ever seen. He's also the busiest baby ever, even according to his pediatrician.
So here are some things that make Garrett my little Geeby. He's so wonderfully himself, with his funny little personality.
He puts up with shopping trips.
He tries new foods all the time, and eagerly!
And usually, he likes them!
He wears hats without complaining.
And sometimes he leaves them on.
He likes the presents I make for him.
He gives the best cuddles.
And the best kisses. Lots of them!
He lets me dress him up in funny outfits.
He's really inquisitive.
Really, really inquisitive.
He's also artsy!
And an actor.
He's a trooper when Mommy wants a million pictures.
He's a really fun little dude.
Who really loves his big sister!
And his Daddy.
And most importantly, his Mommy.
(Who obviously loves him a ton, because she posted this picture of herself.. Yikes.)
This little dude has changed our lives so much. We couldn't be more grateful for the past 9 months of crazy!

Elf Antics
Every morning, Katie wakes up and yells "Mommy! Where's Twinkle?? Whas he doin?" and we go running through the house until we come across that silly little elf. So here are some pictures of what Twinkle has been up to in the Frederick house.
On Katie's first day back to school after the Thanksgiving Holiday, Twinkle left her a note that he wrote with her crayons.
"Mommy! What's up there? It's TWINKLE!!"
That next night was a really busy one for Twinkle. After he flew to see Santa, he had to come back here and get to work on his new project. It's a felt Christmas tree that the kids can hang on the wall to decorate.. and undecorate.. and decorate.. That elf is a crafy little dude!
The next morning, Twinkle was hanging out in the bathroom with some cookies. He wants to bake, apparently
The next morning, we woke up to find that, evidently, Twinkle wanted to have an Art Party. He brought a wood snowman mask for Katie to paint, a waterpaint picture for Garrett to play with, and lots of other art supplies. These babies had a blast!
Twinkle hasn't brought presents every morning. Some mornings he isn't doing anything special at all.. he's just hanging out by Katie's Christmas tree, or sitting on a picture frame. We've been having so much fun with Twinkle, and I can't wait to share more!

Hotty Toddy! Go LEBBELS!
There comes a time in every little girl and boy's life when she or he attends his or her first Ole Miss Rebel football game!
The first thing they have to do is stand in the Grove for the Walk Of Champions, where all the players walk through the crowd on the way to the stadium.
Then, after the band plays Dixie and the fight song, they walk to the stadium.
And on the way, they see the back side of the big Jumbo Tron for the first time. It's HUGE!
Once they get to their seats, they get to see the band on the field for the first time, and it is seriously a life-changing event.
Then, the big moment arrives! The Ole Miss Rebels come out into the stadium! Yay!
And then comes the best part of the pre-game festivities! The Hotty Toddy! Traditionally, a celebrity, news-maker or much-loved Rebel leads the crowd in Hotty Toddy. Since this game was Veteran's Day weekend, it was only fitting that a loved Rebel Marine NROTC instructor (and Iraq war veteran), Gunnery Sergeant Stephen Roberts lead the stadium in Hotty Toddy.
As an aside, here's a link to a story that explains why GySgt Roberts is a loved Rebel:

And of course, before the game starts, babies have to take a few more pictures..
And then its finally time for some football!!
And then, not much later, watching football gives way to sleepy-time. For the record, real Rebel babies can sleep just fine in the stadium!
But sometimes, the excitement of winning some football gets to be too much, and a nap just can't happen.
But then you might start to lose the game, and a nap will seem like a much better idea..
When it's all over, every Rebel boy and girl has had such a great time at their first football game. They yell "Hotty Toddy!! Go Lebbels!!" as loudly as they can, they make Mommy walk up and down the bleacher stairs 90 times for bathroom trips, and they scream for the band to come back on the field a lot more than they scream for more football. But at the end of the day, they are all smiles, because they know that real Rebels may not win every game (even against Vandy.. yikes.), but they never lose a party.
