I can't believe Garrett is 6 months already! He's actually a little bit over 6 months, but close enough. I don't have any stats to write since we just moved and haven't figured out a pediatrician to go to yet. So when we get that all worked out I'll have to give another update.
But as for now, Garrett is one special little boy and he holds a huge place in my heart! His smile just makes me so happy. I just love him soooo much!
We have officially started Garrett on solids! So far we've just tried rice cereal but I think I'm gonna head to the store tomorrow and get him some bananas, pears, and some vegetables too. He seriously loves eating rice cereal so much that I think he's going to LOVE tasting other flavors of food!
The sleep training has also begun! Last night was our first night. It's just so hard to let them cry! It's hard because I don't want him to have to be sad but it's also hard because I know that I can make him totally happy and go right back to sleep, just by nursing him for a few minutes. But on the other hand, it's been hard to still be getting up 2 times a night, sometimes more. Last night went alright so we'll see how the next several nights go!
Yes, I took pictures of us. As I was snapping pictures of Kimbri and Garrett it occurred to me that I don't think I have one single picture with just me and the kids. So I attempted to take a few. Yes, we are still in our pajamas and yes, last night was an "only-slept-in-her-diaper-night" for Kimbri. But hey, it's hot in Arizona and when you're almost 2 years old, you can get away with that. Haha :)
After Garrett's second nap today (he took 3), I fed him and apparently I fed him lots! He spit up a ton!! So I changed him into an old onesie I found from a box of clothes my mom had.

As I was trying to take this picture, Kimbri leaned over and kissed Garrett. This is a rather common occurrence, of Kimbri kissing Garrett. She loves him so much. It's really cute!

| Also, Garrett was really tired. You can totally tell by his eyes. He went down for a nap right after taking these pictures. |

I tried to get a picture where you can see what it says but every time Garrett gets excited he makes fists and brings them to his belly, like so:
In this picture you can see it better. It says, "Somebody in Louisiana loves me!"
We are so happy that you are in our family, Garrett! And we love you so much!

| Boy do I love those chubby legs of his! |
