Music Time

Gannon's first day of music class was today and he loved it. We invited Robin and Jax up to join us and even Jax had a great time and was very comfortable with Mrs. Shelly. Garrett loved goinging to music class so now it's Gannon's turn to go with Mommy. Garrett's new Mommy time will be at Tumble Time starting next week.

The boys!

Oh my goodness, Gannon loved the paracute!

So much fun!!!

Yeah I'm really 1!!!

Gannon's official birthday was pretty low key. He spent the day with Mommy and had a nice quiet dinner with brother, Mommy, and Daddy.

At his one year check up he weighted in at 25.5lbs and is 31.5 inches tall! I can't tell you how many times people say him and Garrett are built so different, but at this age he was almost exactly the same size.

This past year with him has been great and we look forward to all the new changes and learning he will go through!

A Visit with Aaron

Aleicia and Baby Aaron came over for a visit on Gannon's birthday. Amazing that they are only 6 months apart. They change so much in that six months, look out Aleicia!!! Aaron was fascinated watching Gannon move about. Little do they know, they are friends for life!!!

Another Celebration for Gannon

Grandma, Grandpa, and Taylor came over the night before Gannon's birthday to enjoy cake and cupcakes. Gannon of course loved spending time with Grandma...his favorite. I now remember why I don't have 1st birthday parties, he was so not interested.

Yeah, it's really Grandma!

Garrett, the agent!

All in a Weeks Time

Gannon has made some huge strides in development in the past week. He is now officially walking, clapping when he is done, giving the sign with his hands for more, and has two new teeth! Wow the little guy must be exhausted, that's a lot.

He has been taking steps here or there since Christmas, but I would say now he is really walking. And very proud might I add. He crawls to get himself standing then takes off on his feet! We have been encouraging him when he walks and clap for him. On Sunday he must have figured out that he should clap too because every time he fell he paused to applaud himself. What a doll!

(I was telling Dave a story and realized I should just video so excuse my side conversation)

A Little Pre Birthday Celebration

I can't believe Gannon will be one this week! Since I don't do first birthday parties, Grandpa and Grandma Ingalls came down to see Gannon last weekend for his birthday and brought cupcakes. Man was he in heaven.

I had to hold him hands while we sang so he couldn't grab the candle. He wasn't too sure what to think about this.

Starting out nice and slow...

Oh is this what I do?

This is good stuff

I would have to say he enjoyed every bite and was searching for more when it was gone.

Angels Stadium Tour

As everyone knows Dave is a HUGE Angels fan and Garrett thinks they are the only team in baseball! Since our campground in Orange was just down the street from the stadium we thought we had to have a behind the scenes tour so Dave splurged the $3.00 fee from his budget! It was very interesting to hear about the behind the scenes action at the stadium and to hear the history.

We had gone to a game in 2008 and never realized the from of stadium is an actual ball field size with bases and a pitching mound. Garrett of course had to run the bases. Look at how little he looks on the "field".

Gannon was getting pretty tired of being in the back pack and just want to run around so during the talk in the visitors locker room he was released to do so! He made his way through the small crowd as if he was the only person in the room.

Gannon still exploring on the floor - he really wanted to play with these baseballs!

Garrett's cheeser smile!
