To Infinity and Beyond
Garrett is totally obsessed with Toy Story and had his little heart set on being Buzz Lightyear for Halloween. Last week UPS delivered a package and Garrett was so excited. Here is the preview. The next night my books were delivered and Garrett swore it was another Buzz Lightyear!
Gannon's First Tooth
Gannon's first tooth popped through this weekend. Look out that sucker is sharp. Just like Garrett, he didn't really have any symptoms of teething which is good. Poor little guy, that has to hurt.

Yeah big smile!
Soldier Update
I feel very behind on this update, but here you go.
We all have heard how stupid our Merced Hosiptal is and I have never had that experience, till now. The actual experience of the ER (two nights in a row) actually wasn't too bad. The wrong diagnosis on the other hand was pretty stupid. After our doctor read Garrett's report from the hospital and confirming with the radiologist, there is NO fracture! She removed Garrett's splint and he was good to go. It did take him sleeping that night before he would actually use the arm, but he is good now! Relief - a cast for 6 weeks would have totally sucked!
Gannon and I are no longer sick and that is also a huge relief. Sick Mommy and baby is not a good combination! Garrett did have a little bug this weekend, but we are all better.

Our Wounded Soldiers
Gannon woke up Friday night around 11 with a temp of 103.8 and wouldn't keep any medicine down. Dave swore he had purple skin before he went to bed so after debating for a hour week took him to the ER just to confirm he was okay. And he was. Well, other than a common cold. So he hasn't been quite up to speed the last couple of days.
Garrett, Gannon and I were walking up the stairs yesterday and I was holding Garrett's hand and he stepped down a step which pulled his arm. I heard a snap so quickly called Dave freaking out! He had me check his shoulders and bones and nothing looked out of place or swollen. He came home from cooking at a fundraiser and Garrett was still not wanting to move that arm or use it at all. So off to the ER Garrett and I go again to have him checked out. He does have a hairline fracture in him arm so we returned home with a temporary splint and he will have a hard cast put on this week. Poor guy. The real bad news is the thumb he sucks belongs to the arm that is hurt so he didn't want to raise his hand to his mouth after it was hurt. This would be a great time to break the habit, but poor guy loves his thumb so the next few days could be a challenge. I told Dave I won't be surprised if he wants a purple cast!!!
Finally resting!

Go Nannon
"Go Nannon" as Garrett would say. Gannon is eight months old now and is really starting to explore his physical strengths.
Earlier this week Gannon woke from his nap and pulled himself up on his crib railing and I heard a thud - he let go and his head his the railing. Poor little guy.
This morning he was playing on the floor and I look over and there he was sitting up. He has been sitting for quite some time if we put him in that position, but now he can get there all on his own.
It's only been two years since Garrett started to explore, but I forgot that with the world of exploration comes lots of bumps, bruises and cries!!!

Attention All Teachers...
If any our of teacher friends needs a guest reader for the day Garrett could fill in. No he can't read, but he pretends very well. Yesterday he was reading a story and after reading each page he turned the book in his hand, like teachers do, to fan the picture of the page to me and Gannon. He makes me laugh all the time. My little sponge! It's great to know he pays attention to Ms. Stephanie at school. When we read at home he is always sitting next to us so of course we don't do the fanning thing.

Garrett's latest
Garrett's new thing is to ride this horse, love the imagination! He really wants Gannon to ride behind him which is super cute. Gannon on the other hand only agrees for a minute and he wants his ride to be over which makes Garrett really mad.
We visiting Grandpa & Grandma Ingalls last weekend and he gave Garrett a little tractor and trailer and I don't know what we would have played with all week without it. Garrett loads up all the Wonder Pets and Toy Story figurines and his little Buzz is the driver. He is so funny, one morning I saw him looking all over for something and I asked him what he was looking for and he said, "where's little Buzz?" I guess he doesn't let anyone else drive the tractor!
