A Day in the Life (aka: the pictures you asked for)

Barrett's day in pictures...

We woke up around 7:15 this morning, and began our day with some light reading.

Breakfast time - working on our spooning skills with some oatmeal. This picture doesn't capture how incredibly precious he is becoming with Charlie - here, he's leaning in for a hug (which basically consists of him pressing his face against her back)
Off to play at the gym while Mommy works out.
Then over to the mall for an unsuccessful shopping trip. But we stopped at this ride and had a blast. Back home, lunch and naptime. Here's Barrett slowly waking up from his nap.
Very slowly.
But now he's ready. Or maybe not...post nap grumpies. Really cute.

Dinner and BATH TIME!!

He usually has his best moments of the day right before bed time. Here's one of them - this is him cheering for the cars that he just sent racing.

One last moment with Dad, then it's off to bed.
A pretty typical day. Praise God for such a precious boy.

Barrett Update

I saw Aunt Mandy's request for an update, and realized that I haven't shared anything about our little guy in quite some time. He is a BIG talker, saying TONS of words:

Mommy (enunciated clearly, adorable, and of course my favorite), Daddy, Charlie, Elmo, dog, door, dance, bark, ball, bus, bird, books, blocks, bubbles, bees, bear, bug, duck, mess, banana, toys, truck, toes, car, mouse, cat, dog, cows are called "boo" for moo, "baa" for sheep, "roar" for lion, pool, shoes, cheese, house, paci, pig, plane, puzzle, no (of course), bye, and Hi (which he uses correctly to greet just about anyone he encounters). We also have the Little People Noah's Ark set, and he knows "Noah" - adorable. I'm sure there are a few others, but these are the ones I can remember right now.

He can identify his ears, nose, arms, toes, and belly button. Speaking of ears...we're going to be taking our first plane trip with Barrett to visit Grandma and Grandpa Wood in New Jersey in just a couple weeks; we want him to be able to watch a video on the plane, so we've been practicing with our earphones. He loves it - they're falling down a little in this picture, but you get the idea. DJ BMW?
