Catching Up and Fairmont

Garrett has been getting a lot of use out of Bryant's motorcycle.  He loves it when Dad drives him around the neighborhood

And Bryant is happy tagging along on his bike.

Waving to mommy

Getting excited to go fast!

Isn't he a cute dolphin trainer?

`

We went to play at Exploration Works and see lots of tarantulas and play in the water.

And Garrett loved the slide

And rocking horses

We decided to move Garrett into a big boy bed.  We haven't gotten rid of the crib yet, so the bed is taking up the whole floor.  Both boys were super excited that night and didn't go to be until 10:00!

The crazy sleeper...

Time for Garrett's 18 month and Bryant's 5  year well checks at the doctor's office.  The wait time always has the boys acting crazy!

At 18 months, Garrett was shorter than Travis and Bryant, but had them both in weight.  And his head circumference was the same as Bryant at that age.  Both boys were in the 90th percentiles in size for their age.  Garrett was 34" long (92%), 29 pounds 4 ounces (96%), and 50.5 cm head circumference (>99%).  At 5 years old, Bryant weighed 51 pounds (93%) and 46.75" tall (>99%).  His well check was really comprehensive with a hearing, vision, and school readiness testing.  Both boys passed with flying colors!

Bryant wants to put  his brother to bed every night, but usually ends up falling asleep first.

Thursday was a really exciting day...Bryant got to meet his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Davey.  He got really nervous before he met her and got really shy and quiet, but he took a picture with her before she left our house.  I've heard really good things about her, so I think he's going to have a fun year.  They even share the same birthday!

She brought him a book and he was so excited.

We got his school supplies the other day and he thought it was really fun to write his name on all his supplies and sharpen his pencils.  I think they have a lot of crafts planned for kindergarten because he needed two bottles of glue and twelve glue sticks!

Garrett is so full of expressions, but his favorite is his "wow" face.  Now whenever I have my camera out and call his name, he gives me this face:

Out to dinner on Friday night...wow!

Cherry chip ice cream for dessert...wow!

On Saturday, we went to Fairmont to meet up with my Aunt Sheri and Uncle Carl.  She brought presents for the boys and they loved their new clothes

And Garrett was so excited to get his own snuggle puppy because Bryant does not want to share his!

Garrett, what sound does an elephant make?

 More wow!

On our way to go swimming!  Unfortunately Bryant only had time for 2 trips down the water slide before someone had an accident in the pool and they had to clear out the pool to clean it.

So, we headed out to feed the animals.

And play in the park.

Garrett loves his slides!

Such a fun weekend...we always leave with full bellies and full hearts - thanks for having us Aunt Sheri and Uncle Carl!
