Garrett is 3!

Our Garrett just turned three yesterday.  He is saying some pretty funny stuff, so I am going to post some "Garrettisms"

-Molly asked Garrett to come and play with her.  He says, "Um, sowwy, actuawwy I am a big bad wowf right now."

-A little girl was bossing Garrett around.  He says, "You're not the boss of me, Mollsy is."

-We were in a hurry, I told him to just go in "bare feet"  he responds, "bear feet!" And ran off and came back in Molly's bear slippers.  he was pretty excited.

-I asked him how his popcorn was.  "I wuv popcorn, I ate a seed, it is too hard to squish in my tummy see?" As he proceeds to give himself some sort of heimlich maneuver.

-I asked him how camping was with daddy.  "daddy's my best fwiend."  How many marshmallows did you have? --"Pwenty...Pwenty."

He is such a fun boy right now.  When people would leave yesterday after the party, they would say "Happy Birthday Garrett!"  He would respond with "Happy Birfday" 

-Today he woke up and asked, "I'm still free(three) wight mom?"

He tries to show everything to his brother Hansen whether it is his shiny new rock or his new batman toy, and he always says..."Isn't it so CUUUUTE Hansen?"  It is pretty funny.

-"Mom did you know that JAIL is just a reallllly long time out?"

-A 3 year old asked him, "Are you three?" Garrett, "Um ya but der is no more cake, i actually aweady had it."

-Garrett, "Mom, you are my best friend..."  Me, "I love you so very very much Garrett."  Garrett, "I love you so very very much too Mom."  :-)

"Fank you foe dis nummy dinna!  Mom, you da best cooker"

"It's not faiw mom, it's just not faiw...mom...what does faiw mean?"

Well...that is the only things I can remember about him right now.  These will be great memories in years to come.

You know you have a newborn

You know you have a new baby when you wake up at 4:45am and feel SO refreshed.  Like you could get up right away and put all the laundry away, do the dishes...run a marathon.  :-)  He went to bed at 10 and woke up at 4:45...and then went back to sleep for a little more.  This is following the night before with a six hour stretch.  I do not ever get my hopes up or expect anything from a newborn because then I wake up not as happy if he only goes 3 hours.  :-)  But I will take it.  Love this kid.  

Molly Ann

When I told Molly I couldn't turn around in the car to look at her b/c I was driving she says: "I wish we were a family of owls so you could turn your head all the way around quick and see me."

Then she said she wanted to visit her cousin Logan and that she missed California.  Under her breath, "I wish I had a fly boat, then I could just get there myself."  I asked about a flyboat and she proceeded to tell me that it was from wonderpets.  Ah ha.

Last night after a nightmare woke her up and she was scared in her room, I told her that the Holy Ghost can comfort her. She then replied with, "yea, and the Holy Ghost warns you if there is something scary too."  

Me: "Um...Yes...Um..."  This conversation got a little longer than anticipated at 11:30 pm.

She is just getting too smart for me.  This is not a good sign, she is only 5, and I am not getting any smarter.

More Pics of "Baby Handsome"

As requested...more pics of Hansen Sam. The first one, he is next to his cousin Adam who is 3 months older than him.  

When I grow up...

Lately, Garrett keeps starting sentences with "When I grow up..." Here are three of the latest:

-When I gwow up Mom, I'm gonna be Batman Gawwett

-When I gwow up Mom, I'm not gonna have one of dose diwty fings(referring to Hansen's umbilical cord stump)

And finally, one of my favorites:

-When I gwow up Mom, I am gonna be a bug

:-)

Hansen Sam Baxter

Molly upon seeing Hansen in his diaper at the hospital: "Did he come out with a diaper already on?"  When told that he had to get his "blood taken"(to check for jaundice).  She asked very concerned, "Do they give his blood back to him?"

Garrett upon seeing his umbilical cord stump:  "Mom, get that fing off of Baby Handsome.  He doesn't wike dat diwty diwty fing on him.  Get it off now Mom!"  (We had to get him dressed right away so Garrett would stop worrying about it)

I shouldn't be getting this way yet...

Any great ideas of how to go into labor?  None of the "I heard this works..."  It has to be firsthand knowledge.  Meaning...you tried it...and it worked.  If I was overdue than people would probably understand more where I am coming from.  But I slept 3 hours last night...and if my sleep is going to be that bad, I might as well have a cute little baby to hold.  Not that watching my cute husband sleep isn't fun...he really is cute when he sleeps. He cuddles in like a little koala bear(pulling the covers all the way up to his neck) and just looks so cozy...and comfortable...and not fat...with no heartburn...just so cute and cuddly.  Anyway, that was a bit of a tangent.  But hey, I had a LOT of time on my hands.  Anybody...anything?
