I'm so happy that we made it! But I'm also sad my baby is growing up.
Garrett's doing great- he's been especially good at destroying things lately. He put my phone on the toilet, pulled a lamp onto him, and broke a picture frame - all in two days. One may be rough!
With all that, he's tiny but mighty. He's created his own growth line for length- it's just below the lowest line. He is growing, just not as fast as all babies! Maybe he'll catch up one day. For weight, he's fine- about 22nd %ile- 19 lbs 10 oz. And for head, he's great! He's in the 60th %ile! He's also ahead developmentally. He can say hi, daddy, mommy, ball and yea! He will also mimic words. He's said night night and dog before. He also recognizes animals when he sees them. He go 'ooh ooh ah ah' at a monkey and 'oof' at a dog. Both of those are 18 month skills, so if there was a developmental curve, maybe he'd be above! I'm biased, but I do think he's a smart cookie. If you show him something once, he's got it. The kid is a climber and very active. I try to show him how to get down from things or what to do, and he generally can then do it on his own :)
G is overall a super happy baby. He loves to help do things. He definitely loves to be with people and loves to be busy! I get him to clean up a lot :)
I've also learned G loves to slide. He also jumps up and down when he thinks we're headed outside to play, or when he's excited about anything!
G definitely didn't start out as an easy kid, but he's always been a sweet one. His big personality is genuinely sweet. I'm thankful for him and feel lucky to have him ;) I love, love this little boy!
