Just within the past month he is no longer crawling, everywhere he goes he is walking, and sometimes he can get up to a full speed and is almost running. Which for me is a blessing! This may sound odd but I had this fear that when we began finding more and more out about his legs that he would never walk. Even though, I knew that there would never be anything in this world that could or would continue to hold my baby back, but when a dr. tells you that your son is going to be developmentally delayed or may never walk, what is a parent supposed to think??? Well we have proved you wrong Dr. Pannella, you dumb dermatologist who needs to keep your mouth shut!!! My baby can do it all, and will continue to do it all!!!
Along with his walking/running, I am amazed at how much Garrett talks. I know that Marshall has very good language for a 2 year old....sometimes too well but Garrett amazes me with something new that he is saying everyday! So far his words are: uh-oh, mama, dada, hi, bye, all done, drink, ba-ba, ball, book, and down. Of course some of the things are hard to understand but obviously I am with him all the time and have kinda picked up on his language. I speak alot of toddler and preschool language these days. My favorite thing about Garrett talking is when we are in the store and he will be in the cart and he will say, "hi" as someone is walking by, as he waves at them. When the people turn around they seriously think that it is Marshall talking to them, until they see Garrett waving at them. TOO FUNNY!!!!
It seems like just yesterday Dr. Lehnert was pulling him out of me and I heard him cry for the 1st time, and now he is 13 months old. Where does the time go? He's even eating cereal with milk with a spoon....a little messy at times, but still!!!!
I don't know what else to say about Garrett, I love his beautiful blond hair and blue eyes, his sweet giggle when you tickle him, and he is definately ticklish everywhere. I love his sweet words when he says, "uh-oh mama!" No matter what he will always be my sweet baby boy!
