For those who have been on the edge of your seats wondering how Garrison's doing with his whole, "Learning to crawl" thing..... he's learned. He has been doing it really well now since my last post, and has even started working on walking now, too!!! It's crazy!! (He JUST turned 8 months on the 19th!!!) He pulls himself up using ANYTHING at the point (The vacuum cleaner, Lincoln's little riding zebra, the couch, his pack-n-play... name it and he can use it to stand up!! haha) and whenever I want to sit him on the floor so he can play and I can go do something, it's a struggle cause he doesn't wanna sit, he wants to stand and practice walking!!! Seems too young to me, but he's determined and he's a strong little dude... and I think he wants to run around with his big brother!!! =)

Speaking of his big brother, Lincoln has been really exerting his will this past week or two (or year..... hahaha) and really wanting to "do it himself!!". "It" being EVERYTHING we do in our daily lives... (opening the door, getting the juice, pulling up his own shorts, picking out his clothes, deciding WHEN to put the clothes on, etc, etc, etc....) it's been, ummm.... interesting and exhausting at times! ;) The past week or so, he's also been on this, "I don't like it" kick where no matter what I suggest we do, or eat, or watch, or go, or whatever.... his response is always the same... don't like insert whatever here. Me: Wanna watch Diego? Lincoln: No, don't like Diego! And I'm scratching my head as to why we watched Diego for 3 hours yesterday if he hates it so much... it certainly wasnt' MY first choice!!! hahaha Oh well, keeps life interesting, I guess! ;)

Overall, life is good.
