Update 02.28.10

I haven't been keeping the blog up to date very well lately. We've been busy working on the house, getting ready for Garrett's 1st b-day, visitors, and traveling a little.

We had a small party at Chuck E. Cheese for Garrett. A very small group of friends and Garrett's G'ma Vicki (Liz's mom) and G'ma Toby (my mom) were there.

While G'ma Toby was here to visit, we took her out to Hieroglyphic Canyon. Obviously, this is one of our favorite hikes. G'ma Toby somehow survived. Garrett fell asleep in the backpack once again. He is a very good hiker. Rarely a complaint and still manages to fall asleep on his own.

We flew to Dallas last weekend, using our Thanksgiving tickets. We had a good time, except that Liz was sick on Saturday and my cousin's daughter was sick on Sunday. Garrett was also throwing up at times, at least once a day, for no apparent reason. One of these days we'll make it back to do the things we wanted that weekend.

Garrett still isn't walking, despite the video from an earlier post. Liz has been walking him around a lot letting Garrett hold onto her hand. We wonder if he likes scooting cars along the floor to much for him to see the advantage in walking. He has been standing up on his own a lot without the aid of a couch or table and acts like he's going to walk, but seems worried he's going to fall and then puts himself on the floor again and crawls to where he wants to go. We're not trying to rush him though.

He hasn't thrown up since Dallas. The doctor gave us suggestions on what to give him to help stop it and it sees to have worked, however he's been sick the last couple of days with a fever (off and on), lots of congestion, and a cough and has thrown up from that. Evidently, he's gone from one thing to another. Poor guy can't seem to get a decent night's sleep in.

Hospital Visit

Liz and I thought it would be a good idea to take Garrett to the hospital where he was born. So we went back tonight, just short of his 1st birthday.

The room where Liz stayed after delivery. Looks like the place has gone down hill since we left

At the nursery. Where they are looking is where Garrett was weighed and measured

I took a shot of Liz in from of the pictures hanging on the wall with my cell phone a year ago when she was walking around trying to help the labor along
