Happy 1st Birthday Garrett!!
What a difference a year makes!
Garrett did great at his well-child check up!
He tipped the scales at 25lbs 12oz and stands 32-1.2 inches tall!! What a growing boy!

Teething and Ear Infections = Cranky Baby!
Poor Garrett has had a weekend of it! His molars are cutting through and Saturday we had our first (certainly not the last) visit to one of the local Urgent Care offices and sure enough, Garrett has his FOURTH ear infection! I think its time to make that call to the ENT - stat!

Hide & Seek
Or just HIDE =)
Garrett's newest trick is to hide stuff all over the house! These magnetic farm animals have ended up in the pots and pans, plastic storage containers - he even placed on in Boris' crate (sweet boy)!
Turns out he is pretty particular about his hiding spots too! The other day I gave Garrett his sippy cup after breakfast - he runs around the house with it, barking orders at who ever will listen! After a while he started to get an attitude so I searched for the sippy cup....and searched some more! I thought I was losing my mind - why couldn't I find it, he just had it with him!
We have a non-functioning desk in the kitchen (aka storage) that has three drawers. Of course Garrett isn't supposed to be IN these drawers but he likes to open and shut them, most of the time not paying any attention to whats inside.
As I continue to search the house I decide I need to go down to Garrett's level...if I was on the loose where would I hide my cup from my Mom? And then it hit me!! I walked into the kitchen, opened the second drawer down and tada - the cup!! He had moved a few things around to make room - it fit right in!!

1st Snow Day
Madison had her first snow day today! She was SO excited to not only miss school today but she was told last night she could stay with her friend Annaka today! Turns out the "snow day dance" is way old school - the new thing is to wear your pajamas inside out AND backwards, put a spoon under your pillow and then flush an ice cube down the toilet before bed! She did everything but the ice cube (since we found that out later)!
Here Madison danced with my old high school dance team - she did a great job with the choreography to "Party in the USA" and will be happy to do a repeat performance any time! The old place hadn't really changed too much in the last 10 years! Same school staff and a few structural changes.

Why not =)
What does any sane person do on December 8th?
With the exception of Christmas shopping I would say whatever they do on any other normal day =) We are clearly not sane, this morning we started demo on the kitchen - with Garrett's 1st birthday party just two weeks out and family Christmas dinner just two days later!
So in the next couple of weeks our island will be relocated, a bar added, a wall opened up AND new kitchen flooring will be put in. I almost forgot - Matt will be painting the new dining room (former known as the "conference room") all the while working one of his busiest months of the year and I keep two kids and two dogs out of all the mess.
Oh, happy days!
